I learned a couple of things last Saturday. 1. When running around in a storm, it might be a good idea to check the front of the lens for water droplets before shooting. 2. Hail is cold when striking the body.
Two good things to remember. We used to get a lot of hail storms when I lived in the Midwest so I learned that the hard way also. I carry in my bag an absorbent cotton cloth and a microfiber cloth because I learned lesson 1 the hard way also. But you got the shot!!! To hell with hail!
You got an amazing shot!

Thanks Patti. It had been a long time since I had purposely gone out in bad weather – quite exciting.

Thanks Ken. Yes, I knew I had a microfiber cloth in my bag, but I had to run back across the road & dig around for it. Next time I will do better. 🙂
