I'm not sure if I can follow your description. A lightsource to show what
exactly? Maybe the image is too dark on your monitor (it already is fairly
dark on mine, and I've never been one of those complaining about images
being too dark, so that must mean mine is pretty bright) and you can't see
it that well, but there are raindrops falling from above. All of them are
slightly stretched along the path they are moving on.

Or maybe I misunderstood you, care to try again?
