Newts in the Rain

While photographing mushrooms one afternoon, we ran into a pair of newts sitting out the drizzle under natures umbrella. This image was made using side lighting with bounce fill. Because the woods are very dark, I was using an electronic flash held to the side of the camera and positioned a white card in the leaf litter to bounce some light back into the shadows.
