寂寞摄影者 (Wet Day)

年尾，东北季候风和往年一样飘洋过海，沿途探访星马两地的亲朋戚友，也带来了连绵的浪漫礼物- 雨天。

适逢周末，带了妻女到狮城年终购物，当然也不忘记带另一知心伴侣随行- 佳能相机与镜头。

用过午饭后，妻女们开始逛街购买衣裤，我也开始穿街走巷上一个人的摄影课。

走了没多久，一场豪雨滂沱而下，霎时鸡飞狗走，小贩们急急收档，路人们四处避雨，我站在五脚基上，眼观四方，雨中即景尽入眼帘，上了一堂有趣的雨天摄影课。

雨天，对露天小贩无疑是一大打击，生意都不能做了。但得以趁机偷他个半日闲倒也不错。

小孩们完全没有愁绪，快活地谈天说地，继续他们之间不见不散的约定。少年不知愁滋味这句话太贴切了。

最浪漫的情景当然是出双入对的有情人，不论老少，和伴侣共撑一把伞，雨水的寒意，永远冷不着心中那丝暖意。

最寂寞的，莫过于这街头摄影者，蹲在湿漉漉的五脚基上，一个人拍摄豪雨落在栏杆上的孤寂景象。。。
 

When I used a compact film camera sometimes ago, I always thought that rainy day is a lousy day for taking photographs. However, as I was exposed more to DSLR photography, I realized that wet weather too make for good photography subject.

I was doing some street photography on this weekend, when a sudden downpour came and provided me with the opportunity to take some candid shots of people’s reaction in a rainy day.

The street hawkers were busy wrapping up their stalls.

Teenage kids were undeterred by the rain, continuing their journey to their prearranged outing.

Couples, young and old, were seen sharing the umbrella and care for each other in a cold rainy scene that instead warm up people’s heart.

The lonely street photographer was left confined at the five-foot-way photographing the heavy downpour in front of the railing….
