Still rain, how can I improve similar shots?

[diablo]

Hello all,

Thanks very much for your suggestions to my previous posts.
I took this picture a few weeks ago at Singapore airport. Though I reckon that was the best I could manage, please advise how I may improve the shot.



Thanks

It looks as though this was shot through a window perhaps? Maybe to capture more of the effect, roll down the window and use a longer shutter speed (.5 + seconds) and rear sync flash to capture a nice blur of rain.

well, this was a glass partition in the outdoor smoking zone in singapore airport. So rolling down wasnt an option.
Since I wasnt sure how to capture the rain blur, I did not attempt it. I do need to learn more about rear sync flash. Any place I can read more about it?

Thanks

Cheers

diablo,

Great moody piece of Art. Travelers everywhere can relate.

At top of page, "Search" is good place to begin. It lead to this:

Pardon me, xysmas, for the insert.

Hey jiminyClickit!

Thanks for the appreciation! Well, I did read th slow sync technique last evening on this site. But I wasnt very sure I understood the concept. That is the reason for my asking if there were any tutorials/information that xysmas knew of.
Anyway, thanks for that tip!

Cheers
