\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAt the moment, we land\u00adscape photo\u00adgraphers are pretty much left out in the rain. Late last year was one of the rainiest in recent years, at least in my home region. In this BLOG post, you can find out why the rain and the eternal grey shouldn\u2019t stop you from taking photos and how you can deal with the wet. <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Let\u2019s start with the prepa\u00adra\u00adtion and how we protect ourselves against the wet by choo\u00adsing the right clothing.<\/p>

  1. Water\u00adproof shoes
    I wear ankle-high, water\u00adproof hiking boots with a GoreTex membrane in bad weather and have never got my feet wet<\/li>
  2. Rain jacket \/ rain cape
    Using a rain jacket is actually self-expl\u00adana\u00adtory. However, if it rains heavily, a rain cape that you throw over yourself also offers extra protec\u00adtion. Most of these are also quite small and can be easily packed into your rucksack. <\/li>
  3. Rain cover for the photo ruck\u00adsack
    Your ruck\u00adsack, in which you carry all your equip\u00adment around, should also be well protected. It\u2019s always annoying if water gets into your rucksack.<\/li>
  4. Umbrella
    Depen\u00adding on the amount of rain, possibly an umbrella with a holder on the tripod or free\u00adhand (Walimex Hands Free) Watch out for camera shake with the tripod version. If neces\u00adsary, an umbrella in your hand will also do. <\/li><\/ol>

    Camera and lens protec\u00adtion when shoo\u00adting in the rain<\/p>

    1. favourable: shower cap, cover\/freezer cap
      One solu\u00adtion that is super cheap and that I have had good expe\u00adri\u00adences with are food covers. These also fit over the camera and protect it from rain or mois\u00adture in waterfalls.<\/li>
    2. profes\u00adsional: Rain cover
      Of course, there are also rain covers for cameras in the \u20ac50 range. <\/li>
    3. extreme: under\u00adwater bag\/housing
      If you really want to take photos in the pouring rain or under\u00adwater, you can opt for a much more expen\u00adsive under\u00adwater housing. <\/li>

      Your beha\u00adviour to protect the camera in wet conditions<\/p>

      1. No lens change if possible<\/li>
      2. Use lens hood as drip protection,<\/li>
      3. Hold the camera with the front lens facing down\u00adwards when chan\u00adging location<\/li>
      4. Dry the camera regu\u00adlarly with a dry cloth,<\/li>
      5. Remove drops from the front lens with a clean micro\u00adfibre cloth as required.<\/li>
      6. Do not switch the camera on imme\u00addia\u00adtely when it is warm and dry, leave it in the camera bag for the time being, if neces\u00adsary put drying rice in the bag (small bags, often supplied with elec\u00adtronic products)<\/li><\/ol>

        It\u2019s real November weather outside. It\u2019s chilly, grey and it\u2019s raining all day. But that shouldn\u2019t stop us from going out and taking photos.

        At the moment, we land\u00adscape photo\u00adgraphers are pretty much left out in the rain. Late last year was one of the rainiest in recent years, at least in my home region.
