Of the Photo of Rain over Miami

Gene: I photoshop most of my photos to correct color, increase contrast, crop, etc. I think what you are asking is whether the photo is real, and the answer is yes. I took it last Thursday night. This was a ten-second exposure, so what you see is cumulative rainfall over ten seconds. It’s real, but it’s not the same thing that the naked eye would see, or that a camera making a much shorter or longer exposure would see. Still, it’s not so different in appearance (as my imperfect memory remembers it) from what I remember seeing. It was such a striking visual event that as soon as I noticed it (I was bicycling along an esplanade) I decided that I should stop at once to photograph it before it disappeared.

Here's how it appeared BEFORE I photoshopped it...

And Here's what it looked like afterwards.

THIS IS GENE.... Still stunning... Still moving and still says, Let it RAIN>>>>
