How to take portrait photos in rainy days?

Usually rainy days are cloudy, and the light is relatively uniform. When taking portrait photos in rainy days, we can use the evaluation metering mode to measure the light, so as to obtain accurate metering values. If you shoot in the sun on a rainy day (I mean rain with the sun), you can use partial metering mode to measure light. No matter what lighting conditions, no matter which metering mode is used, our purpose is to obtain the most accurate metering effect, and we must use it flexibly according to the specific situation on the spot.

In the use of shutter speed, we can focus on two aspects, one is based on the size and density of raindrops, and the other is the shooting effect. The high-speed shutter can freeze raindrops in the air, and the low-speed shutter can record raindrops' tracks, both of which can produce different effects. But our focus is on the photographer, so no matter which shutter speed is chosen, it is best not to let the raindrops affect the eyes and faces of the characters.

It is particularly important to note that when shooting in rainy days, film friends should pay attention to protecting the SLR camera. Preparing a plastic bag or shooting under an umbrella is the first choice. After all, our camera is afraid of rain, even raindrops. (Text/Figure/Jiang Zhendong) "
