When it starts to rain, most of us pack our gear away. It's a wash, or is it? In truth, a rainy day has its charms. Flat & even light provides opportunities to find unique compositions that others aren't out looking, like macros and tight compositions of anything under the rain. Protect your gear as most cameras aren't designed to get very wet, and use a polarizer to reduce glare because water does reflect! Most importantly, don't let a gloomy day spoil your creativity. There is much left un-photographed on a rainy day just because most of us think it's a wash! Enjoy.
