How to take good photos in the rain?

Rain is an element that many photographers often dislike. However, the fast movement in low light, hazy color and humidity make all these things different in the rain. Here are some suggestions for taking pictures in the rain:

First, try different shutter speeds.

Shutter speed plays an important role in the rain appearing in the image. When it rains, people usually record photos as white blurred lines, but if the light is sufficient and the ISO is high, you can increase the shutter speed and take the following photos:

(EOS R6, RF 100mm f/2.8L macro is USM, f/5, ISO 2500, 1/8000s, 100mm).

Use 1/8000

Second shutter speed, capturing raindrops at a faster shutter speed can take excellent images. On the contrary, if you use a slower shutter speed, you can also create beautiful rain lines and shoot different effects.

Second, think and reflect.

Backlight or oblique light shines on raindrops, and rain is the most obvious.

(EOS 5D Mark IV, EF24-70mm f/4L is USM, f/8, ISO 160, 10s, 70mm).

In this example-although the photographer used artificial raindrops-we can see how to make the water light beautiful under the backlight, and the slow shutter turns the water drops into light tracks.

At the same time, we can see how the backlight enhances the contrast between the subject and the background. It will be very obvious to find a suitable angle and a clearly visible light source behind the rain.

Third, try a higher ISO setting.

Heavy rain will block the sun, so it is necessary to improve the ISO sensitivity when shooting rain scenes. The main problem of using higher ISO is the increase of noise in the image, but at the same time noise can add interesting details to the image.

Fourth, use manual focusing.

Try to use manual focusing, because if you use autofocus mode in rainy scenes, you will find that the camera may not be able to focus well, because autofocus can't finish shooting well in rainy days.

The verb (abbreviation for verb) is saved in the original format.

In rainy days and challenging lighting conditions, photographers try very hard to shoot the ideal effect, but it is often difficult to achieve the ideal effect.

Formatting records can retain more information so that you can do post-color processing as needed.

(EOS 6D Mark II, EF 35mm/ 1.4L II USM, F/ 1.4, ISO 800, 5.3s, 35mm).

Shooting in natural light on rainy days may cause colors to look dimmer than in real life, which is why post-adjustment is very important for creating excellent photos.

Six, looking for reflection

Water can change the surface of an object to reflect light. It may be interesting to use reflection. Look around for interesting elements and take interesting pictures from these temporary mirrors.

(EOS 2000D，EF S 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 ISTM，f/ 1 1，ISO 200， 1/

400S, 35 mm)

Now, you should know that shooting in the rain is very different from shooting in normal weather. Although it is not easy to shoot in the rain, it is also a unique opportunity to take wonderful photos in the rain.
