Weather or not it will Rain: Photo J Week VIII



The tricky part about taking a weather photo in Texas is that it's impossible to know what to expect. While I spent the majority of Saturday waiting by White Rock Lake with my camera expecting to get some good shots of the wind or rain and sailboats, instead the stale humid air left most sailors out of the water. I brought my camera everywhere with me, just to be sure I didn't miss a drop of rain, gust of wind, or anything else the gods of the Texas skies decided to produce (hail I don't know). While at a Soul Steppers competition, we waited outside to study when it began to sprinkle. It was a little challenging taking pictures with the loom of a downpour minutes away and my expensive camera vulnerable to the elements. For the light amount of rain, it worked great. As far as having my subjects react to the rain, that was pretty simple. They began pulling out umbrellas and jackets and when I pulled out my camera the rest was just them having fun. The lighting was perfect because of the overcast, although I did have to adjust my ISO a bit to let in the right amount of light.
