shooting in rain protection?
When shooting houses and buildings in the rain, what is the best way to
protect the camera and the photographer? One thing I can think of is a hat umbrella. But it looks kind of unprofessional, especially most of these are multi-color toy-like. Is there something else that works and also looks professional? |

There are housings for using cameras underwater, somewhat overkill for just rainy day use. There are also glove-like arrangements that are a blank filter with a plastic bag attached. The filter is mounted on the camera and the bag covers the camera. Ypu reach inside the bag to operate the camera. I've taken my old Canon FX out on rainy days many times. I dry it off after use, set it in front of the air conditioner or heat duct for a while and it still works just fine. |

I'm going to make rain protector for my camera myself. I will use raincoat and take part of that. You lens goes where your hand normally goes and so on. I will probably not look so professional but at least it should work with longer lenses too. -- Petri Lopia :: lid Galapagos Island, Lightnings, Nature, StormChasing, Moon etc. photos: http://www.petrilopia.net/ http://www.pbase.com/whig/ M: Helios Skyliner 200 + Kamera-adapteri + Plössl 32mm 1 1/4" + aurinkosuodin. |

We have found a new wonderful product that we use all time in outdoor shooting that protects our equipment and is very professional looking.
