Hi Kerby, P.S.: Incidentally, there was one key issue that I faced when making this image: It was snowing! Some tips and thoughts when shooting in light rain and snow:
- Use a lens hood - great all-around protection for a lens, as well as for helping to prevent glare from sunlight.
- A filter can keep rain drops or snow flakes off your lens glass, but beware of possible vignetting if you're combining a filter and hood on an extreme-wide-angle lens.
- An absorbent cloth - i.e., a chamois (chammy) - is ideal for soaking up waterdrops on the camera body and the lens body (not the glass).
- A lens cloth - i.e., microfiber - or lens tissue can be used on the lens front (glass).
- Rain covers: For a do-it-yourself solution, try a showercap (such as the kind found in hotel rooms) or a plastic bag (just don't cover the lens itself). But I prefer one of the stronger, commercially-made rain hoods (brands include Laird, which I use, plus Tenba, Kata, and others). #1439089

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
