Recently,
while on assignment in St. Petersburg, I wanted to capture the bustling
and vibrant energy of the young generation. I was walking on the
streets along the Fontanka River at dusk in the rain when this young
woman wearing bright colors hurried past me.Use one lens. When shooting in the rain I always wear oversize protective clothing and have my camera inside my jacket, nice and dry and easily accessible and ready to shoot when the right opportunity arises. Don’t change lenses. Instead, use a high-quality protective UV filter and a lens shade in front of the lens, and carry a clean soft cloth to dry the lens in case it does get a few drops. It never hurts to keep a large plastic bag in your pocket, just in case you get caught in a downpour. Finding a covered spot along the street, like an archway or awning, provides good protection so you can freely shoot. —Cotton Coulson
