Rainy Day Photos

 

Don't let a summer rain get in the way of

practicing your photography!

 

To prepare for a rainy day, buy yourself a rain cover for

your camera.

 

I have this one that I got for only $15 on this Amazon.com link.

 

 

 

If it's raining hard, set out a dish on your back patio.

I used the top of my grill because it is a delightful RED!

 

Use a FAST shutter...200 or above to capture the drops as they

hit the water.

Also use a deep depth of field..try an aperture of f8

to keep things in focus.

 

 

The one strange thing about rain...it's very hard to photograph

it falling!   It was raining hard when I took this next photo.

 

But you can barely see the streaks in the dark green tree area.

 

 

So, I added some fun, whimsical rain in Photoshop.

I show you how in my video tutorial.

This technique works well when it's cloudy and gloomy,

but you prefer to shoot when it's not raining.

 

 

I even added some SPLASHES...

 

 

I got the splash brushes by midnightstouch, from Deviant Art.

So, if it rains this summer and your kids are bored...

photograph them in the rain!
