Hi everyone, my first post here. I just found this forum earlier this evening. :D I am not what you would call very experienced in photography, but I really enjoy it!
Briefly after a rain shower rolled through (as has happened many, many times in the past week here in Kentucky), the sun peeked through as some clouds rolled away. I decided to get a dramatic shot from my front porch of the sun shining down on the wet street. Obviously, the light is the focus, so I went with a very fast shutter (1/1600) and an F/8 aperture to get a very dark shot with a bright, glaring sun. (The camera is a PowerShot S2 IS, I've only had it about a month now, just graduated up from a basically fully auto point & shoot Sony Cybershot)
