It's been a damp couple of weeks here in New Hampshire, and I've
been trying (and failing) to take some good rain pix.
This afternoon it was pouring outside, so I put on my
weather-resistant jacket and hat, and took my weather-resistant K-5
(with my non-WR 50-200, and a chamois) out to shoot. I chose a
subject, and stepped up through apertures and shutter speeds; then
came inside to dry off and see what I had.
The answer was, "not much." This was the best of the bunch (1/125,
f/8, ISO 3200):

So, how does one get those streaking raindrops, and have the
splashes when they land look like something?

Drag the shutter & use a strobe set for rear curtain/trailing curtain sync.
If the flash fires when the shutter opens it looks like the rain drops
are falling up. You want it to fire just before the shutter closes.
It helps if it's raining really hard.
