Nine Tips Photography When The Rain

How cannot you see the pictures in the rain? This is nine tips photography when the rain :
1 - bring a waterproof camera. There are about a million on the market. The real problem is with you, if it starts raining. All your camera from any storm, hurricane, it could be too cumbersome continual wear. My current selection is a medium whirlwind storm coat: a simple, but effective often.
2 - Find balconies and awnings. Parked in a dry place and wait for the pictures come to you. Just be patient. 
3 - from the inside the vehicle. This is usually the best choice for most practicable side. Often you can roll the window down and remain relatively dry, especially if the wind is coming from the other side of the car.
4 - Buy an umbrella. I always have a little tot my camera bag. Measuring only 13 inches when folded, but big enough for my camera dry. If you start to rain in the city than live there, look around and look for the umbrella. I found one in Venice and bought two umbrellas in different colors (Why? There is a trick that will tells you later). It would be nice if there was a trusted adviser (or very patient man), or the handle of an umbrella with his left hand holding the camera. 
5 - Take an umbrella in the picture. In fact, the roof can be useful for a pretty picture. A small amount of the upper side of the picture, especially if a wide angle, well filled, the top of the frame, and a clear visual signal which, in fact, it is raining. If the roads are full of people under umbrellas, are in harmony with the audience. But it can also serve an important thing. Rain clouds looked dark, but they are often the source of light rain in the picture. Then the clouds to light are down deep. Use an umbrella to acquire a light cloud cover scene suddenly a much better atmosphere and lighting (and two umbrellas, which I bought in Venice, I was not sure what color would be best to give my pictures). 
6 - in the reflections of the show. But when it rain, it's hard to see actually the rain. So you have to rely on visual cues to highlight the right move. The rain made the streets of Venice so bright at night, during our stay. This is also why I chased the pigeons in the square, was a mirror image of the window. 
7 - Backlit rain. Rain more visible when backlit. Light rain drops concentrated and somewhat brighter than the rest of the picture. To find sources of light and shoot. It can be a night light, but also the sun in the clouds. In any case, the rules are the same: First, how to shoot directly into the light, the better you see the rain, and secondly, if you go directly to the source of light exposure to risk tearing. So always look for the magic angle in the middle. By the way, do you have the roof and hood can be used. 
8 - So just "flash" small. No, really, I mean it. The flash light on the rain-drops, it's usually a bad thing, because it is too much light to shoot. This technique is misleading and you need to experiment. It cannot work. 
9 - Type of happiness and unhappiness. Rain changes people. We respond with a range of emotions is raining, afraid of the dark rain filled the wonderful joy of children: to capture the same feelings and have a great shot.
