KP, I decided against posting exif because it doesn't matter for rain shots. In fact I checked the exif of these before I decided not to post it. It varies quite wildly, it will only leave you confused.

As I mentioned in the tips, you can use any speed or aperture to meet your compositional requirement.

Rain, sunshine and Dust storm, all in the same frame. I guess you get to see such things only in Ladakh!

That's one of a kind composition by mother nature!! Great capture.

One from my old collection, Light rain & fog, at Wayanad, Kerala. Taken on the way to Bangalore. Took a stop at this beautiful ghat section to enjoy the natural beauty.

@guyonblackybx: The third picture looks good with those colorful bokeh.
@TG: Nice one, this can be part of Abstract photography theme too

TG: your late entry is simply marvelous. It's the kind of snap I would like to frame and hang on a wall with a soft spotlight focused on it.
