Weather is getting much colder these days.
And the continuous rain plays as a role of “accomplice”. Many people hate rainy
days for it means wet clothes, crowded traffic. But it reminds me of one
classic movie, Singing in the Rain. If
we change our perspective, the annoying rainy day can also turn into lovely one.
Now, let’s learn some preparation before shooting in the rain. With some proper
planning you can have a great time outside.

Invest
in rain gear. Many companies make specific
bags for different DSLR models that are designed to use most of the functions
on the camera and offer a better shoot-through plastic protector. They are cut
generously enough to cover you and your backpack or messenger style bag and
help protect it from the elements.
Look
for the reflections. Rain collecting in
streets can cause some beautiful reflections. Point your lens down and look for
reflections in the water of surrounding scenery and frame accordingly.

Take
a friend along. Take a friend with you to help
hold an umbrella, and to be a second set of eyes to help look for reflections,
patterns and subject matter.
Rinse
it off. If you take camera gear, waterproof
point and shoot or bagged DSLRs to the beach or in salt water, rinse them off
with clean fresh water before they dry. The salt in the water can cause
corrosion and dry-rot the rubber gaskets that help seal the memory card door.
