We finally got some rain after the completely dry month of January. Huzzah. I decided to make a trip out to Muir Woods to celebrate. It's a great place to visit in the rain.

It was Sunday, but the crowd was pretty thin due to the rain. I lucked out and caught a dry patch between the morning and evening downpours. The sky was overcast, which softened the light in the forest. It was also pretty dark, meaning I'd have to use a lot of long exposures for the afternoon's photography.

There's not much of a story to the day, I'm afraid. I stuck to the main trail and took a lot of pictures. Like I said, I had to use long exposure on the shots, anywhere from 1/10 of a second to four seconds. As you can see, the colors turned out nice. The EF 17-40mm lens performed quite well.

It ended up being a quiet, rewarding afternoon in the redwoods. Just what the doctor ordered.
