The key is 1. Make full use of the elements of rain scene to organize the picture.

Rainy scenery has a unique emotional appeal, and rainy days are also an indispensable scene in people's lives. In order to reflect more life scenes and real feelings. The indispensable shooting theme of wedding photos in rainy days, the wet ground in the rain, the reflections of people and shop signs, colorful lights and pedestrians passing by with umbrellas, these vivid scenes will make the photos in rainy days full of new ideas and interests, and the picture atmosphere is fresh and warm. Using the guide line and typical rain elements in the scene environment to compose and arrange the position of the subject, you can get photos full of artistic appeal.

Tip 2: Choose the appropriate shutter speed.

When it rains, the brightness is generally weak. Therefore, when shooting a rain scene, it is generally necessary to use a larger aperture and a slower shutter speed to make the rain scene have sufficient sensitivity. If you shoot at a higher shutter speed, the rain will become shorter, forming a raindrop effect and stopping the dynamic moment. Generally, when shooting a rain scene, the shutter speed is 1-60s, which can show the raindrops that have not yet landed. With a slower shutter speed, longer raindrops can be obtained, but the dynamics of the scene may not be clear enough, and the falling rain will be blurred.

Tip 3: Use contrast skillfully to simplify the complex.

Using telephoto lens and large aperture, the primary and secondary relationship between people and scenery is opened, thus highlighting the main body. In order to show the rain that has not yet landed and master the dynamics in the rain, the photographer should stand in a higher position to shoot, use repeated elements to compose the picture and properly use the contrast relationship, which can not only increase the interest of the picture, but also highlight the main body. When the street is crowded, you can choose to make the moving direction of the subject opposite to that of the crowd, thus blurring the crowd into the background and reducing the crowd.

Tip 4: Use shallow depth of field.

It is emphasized that shallow depth of field is an indispensable element in emotional communication to make a sense of film. Large aperture and long focal length can create the effect of shallow depth of field. For wedding photography in rainy days, it is most important to record the emotional communication of characters. People's emotional expression will add a lot of color to the rainy scene, and also make the scenery in the rain full of drama and romance. Atmosphere is often the product of memory. The impression of shooting in the rain for an hour or two often hesitates for years or decades.

Tip 5: Backlight and dark background can set off the shape of rain.

When shooting a rain scene, in order to show the shape of rain, besides heavy rain, there must be a dark background as a foil. If the scene and background in the rain is the sky, the rainy sky is mostly white and dense clouds. Even if it rains heavily, the background and rain are white and you can't see it. Considering the high reflectivity of rain itself, it is recommended to choose a strong one when shooting. The closer the background is, the easier it is to show rain bars, and the farther the background is, the farther the scenery is. Rain stripes are not easy to appear clearly. Therefore, when shooting a rain scene, the range of the scene should not be too large, and it is more important to avoid the white sky occupying most of the picture and affecting the performance of the rain. At this time, shooting with backlight or side light can show the bright and transparent feeling of rain or raindrops.
