Don’t Know What To Shoot in the Rain? 25 Shots for Inspiration

By Light Stalking on 30 Nov 2010 in Cool Photos, Featured[ 30 Comments ]

Shooting in the rain is not many photographers’ ideal setting. The rain throws up all sorts of difficult and harsh lighting conditions and keeping your gear dry can be a challenge. But shooting in the rain is a valuable skill exactly because it is difficult and challenges the photographer. And if you’re really lucky, you might even end up with a great shot like one of the ones below.

You really should consider making the photos clickable. This doesn’t seem fair to the photographers :-s
You found some great examples though, I’m certainly inspired :-)

some amazing images here. despite rains negative connotations it makes an amazing picture. It can even be used really well for wedding photography. if you can avoid getting the bride and groom wet that is.
