Thanks Tony, I love rain in street photos too, because it allows me to play with shadows and light like no other weather situation.
Constructing a scene with shadows and lights is what I love the most. In this case, the rain was falling so hard that it created a white aura
all around the objects that it hit. It was a fantastic light situation, everything was shining in white! And I was standing under the arcades with other people,
so had plenty of shadows too, and I took advantage of that contrast.
Same concept for the cathedral photos, only there the whites were in the clouds, and the shadows under the arcades too.
The contrast of these two elements created, in my opinion, a great energetic context for the middle gray tones of the bricks.
It was the first time that I used this Fomapan film and I really prayed that it could handle this quite extreme dynamic range without imposing too much contrast.
I think it did quite well, and probably developing with T-Max Dev at 20° (as suggested by Foma) instead of the usual 24 ° helped a lot in controlling the contrast.

I think you did well (from #3 onward) with the Fomapan 200, a favorite film. The Reflecta is doing
a marvelous job, too! Correction, I like #1, too, #2 is a little dark on monitor. |

Thanks Minolfan and Bill!
Bill I know what you mean with #2, it's one of those cases, where you work really at the extremes, when I really wish I could buy a pro monitor. 
My Philips consumer monitor is probably not very accurate at both ends (brights and darks).
Basically I didn't give a quid  about showing what's under the arcades (there was a charity flea market), I was only interested in the overall dramatic effect, I wanted something in between The Name of the Rose' convent and Macbeth's castle Mostly I wanted to transmit the feeling of majesty of the structure which is really huge for a church! But of course, I didn't, and don't, want a total black in the arcades! Something must glimpse through to provide realism. On my monitor it does, but it's really borderline, like zone 0,5

Thank you guys!
I am very happy with this small series. I got the church exactly as I wanted it to appear, and I consider also the shower photos a great success, because the impression of blinding white that I got from the reality, is also transfered on film, and it was not easy to happen. Now the real fun will arrive when printing these! That'll be even harder I think - I am prepared to spend nights on them, but surely I want them to look right in the end!
I hope that I can show some good prints in this thread in the next days/weeks. Almost all of these that I showed here are going to get printed.
