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.

simply marvelous..

yes, we have had rain all day. If it doesn’t quit tomorrow I’ll try something or float away trying.

Just what I needed since the Sydney forecast is rain till the end of February

This could be useful here in the most rainy city in Europe, Bergen…

Great Photos. Such clarity in tough conditions.

phenomenal images,some take my breath away

Love the Pics, and the rain.

Great examples. I will try some of those. But its Snow time in Sweden 🙁

Some articles for inter photography will be quite appreciated.

Great photos. I especially like the robin in the puddle photo. Would love to take similar pics but i’m afraid of damaging my camera in the rain.

cling wrap film

I hate rain for various reasons however now I will see it as another great photo opportunity and an expansion of my creativity.Thank you !

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.
