That lighting must have been tricky. It's an effective piece. You're big time now and you're still keeping us company. Thanks! I too have a 24/2.8 that I like to keep on the body. I don't like the zooms at all, mostly because of the size and the slow apertures (I should fork out more and will, if I find a zoom I like). The rain worked out well for you. I think it added a lot. The colors become more subtle, yet still there.
