So im thinking of doing a project on rain, mostly because I cant think of anything else to do and I wont take pictures of people. Im planning on also limiting myself to my 50/1.7 to make me work on my composition and also to try and keep some sort of flow through the project. It rains here something like 200 days a year, so im not really stuck for waiting for it to happen, i'd do snow but it never snows here and its too late for that now.

Has anyone else done similar projects, or know of any? If i find myself really fucking bored (quite likly) i could expand on to do the rest of the classic elements but thats for later.

DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE PICTURE.

Also by trolling this you're all accepting that gear threads are awesome and we should never talk about actual photography.

None yet, really. I can't decide what angle to approach it at. I don't wanna do anything too macro like, that's kind of stale. I'm not sure what to do.

Someone here mentioned some kinda macro rain shots and I just thought about going out on a cloudy, rainy day with a macro lens and a panel of plastic or glass and catching a single raindrop on the glass, and then shooting through the bottom of the glass, focused on the drop.
