If I didn't have children I'd go out, but the thought of dragging out an almost 3 year old and 10 month old twins is a step too far just to do some photography!

It would depend on how heavy it is raining. I like to go out at take pics in the rain or at least when it is cloudy. But don't want to take a chance on my camera getting wet I just got it.

Very good question - It depends on how hard it's raining, where I'm at, and how terribly cold it is outside. (And how badly I want a particular photo!)

I want to know what everyone likes to shoot when it's raining? Please, indulge me! (And hopefully give me some more wonderful ideas :-]) Many thanks in advance!

Much love & God Bless

In my opinion water makes for the best pictures - catching the pure beauty of nature is a phenomenal experience! Therefore I would definitely get out there in rain and snow and storm to catch only one pictures alike those already posted...

I admit I would probably stay inside because I'd be too worried about getting my equipment wet. That said, if I'm out all day shooting (like on a hike or something) and there is a chance for rain, then I bring along dry bags instead of choosing to leave my stuff at home.

I value my gear too much to risk it
