I just bought a couple of yards at the local place where the girls go to buy their dress and curtain/drape materials.
Black velvet does gather fluff but it also gives you a good non-reflective background when you need an absolute black.

Not exactly sure what you're trying to do. Let me know and I'll try and help you.

Snowflakes fall a lot slower than rain (usually!) so I've found that there are a lot of options available. Manual focus often works well to pick some background to serve as a background for the falling flakes. Shutter speed can be selected to either pick up more individual large flakes or produce white streaks of various lengths -- anywhere from 1/15th sec to 1/30th second can be a good place to start. In addition, you could also work with aperture settings to produce a particular distance or range that is in focus to go with what is wanted for the background scene. I've not worked with flash and falling snow, but some have and produced very good results with that, too. As to snowflakes, I have a theory that there probably are two or more exactly alike somewhere but have never been able to prove it... :wink:

Water should be back lit to read best. Front lit water can actually be invisible to the camera, something in cinematography, we do not like. Seeing clothes getting dark for no reason... it happens. Back lighting the rain or shower head spray is the way to go.
