Puddles<\/span>: Puddles! Calm puddles usually will reflect anything from cars to buildings, from people to nature.<\/p>\nWater droplets<\/span>: Look out for water droplets on plants or other surfaces. They look great on pictures too!<\/p>\nClouds<\/span>: Not forgetting the clouds, clouds give off a dramatic look, especially when its dark and about to rain. When there are gaps between rain clouds, you will see shafts of sunlight piercing the clouds and highlighting small areas of a landscape or infrastructures. Be sure to capture it fast as clouds move very quickly.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n#Tip 5<\/h3>\n\n- Who to shoot? <\/b>
\nBe on a lookout for people around you. People react differently to the rain, from the sulky rain-drenched commuters to the joyful children playing in the rain. Your rainy day picture will look more natural.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n#Tip 6<\/h3>\n\n- Backlight<\/b>
\nBacklight is a controlled technique of lighting, used in photography, in which a light is placed behind or at right angles to an object, person, or scene to produce such effects as depth or separation of subject and background.<\/b>
\nTo make the rain more visible in pictures, use backlight. Find light sources such as streetlight or sunlight and shoot towards it. The more directly you shoot into the light, the better you can see the raindrops. Always look for the magic angle as too much light can also overexpose your photo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n#Tip 7<\/h3>\n\n- \n
Camera settings
\n<\/strong>Use manual focus<\/span>: Most camera that uses autofocus will try to focus on the bigger object rather than smaller ones like raindrops. Using manual focus will allow you to determine exactly where you want the focus to be.<\/p>\nAperture<\/span>: A very large aperture (f\/2.0 -f\/5.6) will give you a shallow depth of field, where only small parts of the scene is in focus. While a small aperture (f\/8 – f\/13) will create a deeper depth and more of the scene will be in focus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n#Tip 8<\/h3>\n\n- Caring for your camera
\n<\/strong>– While shooting in the rain, be sure to always keep your camera as dry as possible.
\n– Carry only what you need when you shoot to avoid juggling so many things at once.
\n– Try not to change your lens too frequently as rain water might seep through.
\n– When you move from a cold place to a warmer place, be wary of the condensation that might form due to the increase in humidity.
\n– Pack dry towels just in case water happens to touch your camera.
\n– If your camera happens to get wet, leave the lens open at full zoom until thoroughly dry and place it in silica gel to help avoid condensation forming.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nI’m no photography expert but I hope you learned a thing or two through this blogpost. With advance preparation and some creativity, you can turn a gloomy day into an exciting challenge!<\/p>\n
