Shooting In The Rain
I think the natural inclination when the rain starts falling is to head for the safety of indoors. Operating electronic equipment outdoors can be a little counterintuitive. Having previously fully submerged my Nikon D850 in Emerald Lake (not intentional, or recommended), I learned first hand how robust the weather sealing is on some high end cameras. I fact, I have shot in all kinda of weather all over the planet with that camera, and it has never let me down. A little rain is nothing to worry about. For downpours, there are accessories you can get to cover your camera, or even just use a plastic shopping bag.
I love getting out for the end of a rain storm, or just after it finishes. There are so many great opportunities. To begin with, I had this garden at my local park all to myself. I often find that right after it rains, the greens are more lush and vibrant. The natural water droplets over everything is a great perk, and made many spiderwebs stand out to me. I didn’t have any puddles in this garden, but small pools of water are also great for reflection shots!
