Weekly Poll: It's raining out, what do you do?

[Nicole]

Do you:

Stay inside and try to find an indoor photography project?

• Jowling - Photography fun for a rainy day

OR

Brave the weather, protect your camera (if it's not waterproof), and head out to find shots that nobody else will get because they think that rain means that you can't go out and shoot?

I love the rain - the heavier it's raining the better. Bring on the hail too. Unless it gets big enough to start leaving bruises or breaking glass. Then I'll head for shelter until it passes.

I voted that I stay inside, but I do want to change that and try to shoot some bad weather - just haven't gotten around to it yet

I usually stay inside, but I actually went outside and took some pictures of the clouds from a storm today. They're on my Flickr if anyone wants to take a look. =]

It's been raining almost all the time here and it is fun going out just as the rain is stopping or immediately after it stops and shooting those "water on [put your favourite subject here]" photos. Here is one from last week (not that barbed wire is my favourite subject):

I was out and about yesterday when it started to rain. I loved it. I have a few shots I've taken during a rainy day. I look for rainbows and interesting cloud formation before, during and after it rains.

Couldn't we have a stay inside and shoot out of the window option?

Always a troublemaker, huh?

Staying inside for me, especially I dont have any kind of water protection for my new DSLR I dont want to ruin it yet.

Prefer to read this forums ;-) and other ressources on the web to learn more about digital photography since I am new learner. But eventually ill probably brave the bad weather and take some amazing pics. Yesterday here in the Montreal area would have been great since the rain was so heavy, it even flooded some area and they had to close down some roads.
