Rain after midnight

The rain was heavy in the early hours of this morning in the Riverside district of Jacksonville, Florida, forcing me to sit out on the front porch to have a cigarette. Usually, I smoke out on the back deck.

The Leica D Lux 3 is not renowned for quality images at high ISO but I decided to see the results at ISO 800. The colour image was full of noise but post processing and a conversion to B&W in Photoshop CS3 made this particular image acceptable, with the noise translating into grain.
