If the weather turns really nasty,
seek shelter. However, if you??™re photographing in a light
mist or drizzle, first protect the photographer (that would
be you) by donning raingear and then
get some raingear for your camera. If
your camera case is waterproof, store
your camera there until you??™re ready
to take a picture. Alternatively, you can
tuck a small digital camera under your
raincoat. You can protect your camera
by draping a plastic bag over it, with a
hole for the lens to poke through. Use a
rubber band to seal the bag around the
lens, as shown here. If the plastic bag is
clear enough, you??™ll be able to compose
the scene using the camera LCD
monitor, which will be partially visible
through the plastic. Another option is a
waterproof housing for your camera.
TIP
You can purchase inexpensive beanbags, which can also
be used to stabilize your camera when shooting at slow
shutter speeds. An alternative is a zip-lock bag filled with
uncooked rice or dried beans.
