I found this photograph on Flickr. It was taken by kktp_ in Klaeng, Rayong on June 18, 2007. He named it "Rain, Rain, Go Away, I Want to do some Sunrise Photos." I think it is a beautiful picture. It was captured perfectly. The colors of the sky and water are absolutely gorgeous. It makes me as the viewer want to be there!
I used the keywork "rain" to find this one. Images on Flickr were suprisingly easy to find. It has such a variety of images. I was truly impressed with all the images I saw-they look professional! Every keyword I typed in produced pages and pages full of pictures. The HUGE downfall to Flickr is the process through which you get permission to use the image you are trying to use. It was a nightmare. It was not clear what to do on some. I would click on "Request to License" and it would just take me to the main Creative Commons page and not actually do anything for me. A few times I clicked on it, it told me it could be days if not a week or so before the owner of the picture would get back with me. Also, most of the pictures I wanted to used were not free. I was extremely frustrated working with Flickr purely due to the "permission mess." I understand that giving credit to the owner is important and necessary, but I think there could be an easier, less frustrating way. Other than that, it had a plethora of cool and interesting pictures. I do not, however, think it was worth going through that long and drawn out of a process to get permission.
