Rain is so important in Bermuda – did you know that there is no fresh water supply on the entire island? No lakes, no streams, no nothin’. So by law all of the buildings there have to have a water collection system in place – kinda cool. This rain never actually made it to the island – it was so hot (in August!) that any rain that tried to come down evaporated almost immediately.

I wish I could remember all the Photoshop processing steps I did in this shot, because it is significantly enhanced from the original. I started with a light HDR treatment with ReDynaMix, pumped up the colors a whole bunch, and added an edge burn from Ree Drummond’s free Photoshop Action Sets. Plus other things I can’t remember. I kind of got lost in the artistic process on this one.
