i think not. i was walking along whyte ave when i noticed this girl sitting on the porch, playing with her pearl necklaces and looking directly in front. that's when i noticed that another girl is actually shooting photos of her. i tried to take a snap of them from the hip, but a big waterdrop suddenly fell from the edge of the building's roof and hit the lens body, just right before i clicked the shutter. my reaction to the drop, and the lack of chance to adjust my aperture (hence a very slow shutter of 1/10 sec) provided the quite desirable blur. i spent the next minutes wiping my camera dry =)

the idea of posting this have already been playing in my mind, and with this week's lensday theme "kinetic", i decided this one deserves a post.
