The weather and the non-photographer

PHOTOGRAPHING IN THE RAIN
In some places rain is a part of everyday lives, in other places, such as Los Angeles, it can cause a great panic when it finally rains. In any case, the wet streets, the reflections, the colorful umbrellas, the dramatic skies in the background, the mist and the raindrops can add a naturally unique, romantic, and even a mysterious mood to the picture.
Making pictures in the rain, you'll be very thankful you don't need to carry anything more than your camera. If your actual challenge is keeping your camera gear dry, you might just miss on the real exciting opportunity and find it difficult to just really look around.

FOGGY DAYS
Foggy weather has the tendency to make some people feeling gloomy and depressed. That's ok, since photographing in the fog often results in amazing moody images with an unreal painting-like softness. It might seem a bit tricky at first to overcome the overall flatness of the scene. Also keep in mind that since the fog is likely to reflect light back to the camera it will fool your camera's light meter. Generally, photographing in the fog can be a great opportunity to practice the under expose - over develop method. And definitely there's no need to use filters and such to handle the situation.

SUNSHINE
Mid-day sunshine is often considered to be a harsh light condition which should be avoided. It is about time to abandon this myth along with the old belief it is best shooting with the sun behind us. Shooting into the sun, anytime of day, will prove to be a great (free) effect, will make it possible to photograph silhouettes, and will often result in a high contrast and dramatic shadows.

Nothing much to say here other than; make sure you hold tight to your camera!
