It is inevitable that landscape photographers will encounter bad weather. In this video, I tackle heavy rain head on and get some great results. There is no such thing as bad weather in landscape photography, only bad location choice.

Shot in the rain this past weekend. Rain sometimes brings the best conditions and atmosphere but a lot of people avoid it. I rigged an umbrella to clip into my camera bag strap and it kept me dry, my gear safe, and allowed me to use both of my hands freely. A little improvisation and an open mind led to a whole day of foggy moody woodland photography!

I was literally sitting at home looking out the window at the rain when I sat down to watch this. Halfway through I stopped and grabbed the camera and had a fun time shooting while only getting a little wet. Fun times, thanks for the nudge!

@ThorstenMerz 8 ай бұрын

On rainy days a shower cap or two (disposable or otherwise) is a great accessory to carry around in your pocket, especially if you've got your camera on a tripod and it starts chucking down - just whip out the shower cap and quickly cover the camera. 🙂

Good example there Thomas is there’s no such thing as bad weather, just a bad attitude when it comes to getting out. As you demonstrated with a positive attitude there was still the potential to capture some great images like the first 2 you shared. Lovely image at the end with Pladda Lighthouse and Ailsa Craig in the background which used to where the granite for curling stones was quarried.

I tried photography the other day in the storm, tried doing a video of it too. Unfortunately my camera ran out of battery and my film camera did too, so in the end I was just left soaked! I’m glad you had a bit more success than me ☺️. I love watching your videos especially the autumnal ones 🍂

As I read a few lines below, I'm sure the umbrella comments go on and on! An umbrella is just one more thing to add to the backpack and if used, is cumbersome. Add some wind and they are impossible/dangerous to use. You seemed to be successful here wiping the lens with a cloth, based on the image you captured! I have had more luck keeping a handfull of disposable rain ponchos. They are very cheap and transparent. With the poncho over the camera and tripod, I can, frame a shot, wait for a cloud to move, then pushing the lens through a sleeve or a hole in the poncho, focus and shoot. I've even used a plastic sandwich bag just to keep the water off the lens glass. How many dry cloths can you carry! The pep talk is apprecidated, but rain + wind can still stop me! "...the wind IS difficult to embrace.."

Today was the first of a multi-day visit to the Oregon Coast with rain, wind and fog promising to prevail throughout. Between video and comments, a few practical tips offered, but the main lesson is quit holding back, fretting and making excuses, just dive in. The test will come tomorrow morning.

@michaelmckeag960 8 ай бұрын

This morning I headed for the beach during a lull that was promptly followed by the sucker punch, returning gale force wind driving horizontal rain in sheets. I took shelter in the lee of a towering rock pinnacle. I then worked my way downwind from sheltering rock to sheltering rock, failing to find a composition to motivate opening the pack. By the time I beat my way windward, back to the beach access stairway, I was soaked despite head to toe Gortex, and ready to admit defeat. “…just dive in.”
