Does anyone here have suggestions on taking photos in the rain, without having one's lens getting all covered with raindrops? I'm using lens hoods, but some of the hoods I have don't do much about rain. #photography #photog
My lenses and camera are all splash resistant, by the way.

in reply to Neil E. Hodges • • •Lens Hoods are first line defence... then a cover for lens and camera. Have myself a professional rain cover from Thinktank but on budget any type of plastic cover will do. You need something to most raindrops. What a raindrop here and then is, have a cloth in your pocket ready.
That said if in a hurry a towel will do... Do not need the question for 42.
Had a workshop in a gorge. Raining all day. Shoot water stream and rain. Everyone used (what i described) but the one with a "waterproof Sony A7. That camera was dead the next day and recovered in the week after...

in reply to Neil E. Hodges • • •Usually wipe the lens if needed, shoot, cover.... and repeat. Have more cloths the change when wet.

in reply to Neil E. Hodges • • •Wind speed is another problem then, but better rain protection. Did i say that a cloth to wipe the lens is needed?
