Shot in 16:9 aspect ratio, Panasonic LX2

This was shot through the windshield of my car on a rainy evening, hand held. It was a long exposure because I had to set the aperture at F8 for all the water drops to be in focus despite the curvature of the glass, and for the face in the window to be blurry, but still recognizable - so I opened the sun visor and braced the camera against it.

    I am amazed of your use of light in this photo. Every droplet seems to have a photo. I have no idea how to do that.

    I agree with Joe about each drop having its own photo and being so in focus at the same time!
