On the last day of our short stay at the motel in Marysville, I had
some time to tour the premises while the bill was being settled. It was
drizzling at that time. There were some rustic items for sale and this
little bird house really caught my eye.
I used a longer focal length, a wide aperture and moved in close to
limit the depth of field while carefully positioning myself in order to
obtain a background that was simple and some distance away from the
bird house.
A slower shutter speed was used to allow the rain drops to record as
very subtle streaks across the scene.
