Lauzy weather in Setubal - Portugal

Antonio Correia

All these photos rise a question (for me anyway):
How to photograph the rain ?
How to transmit the feeling of rain, bad weather, discomfort ... ?
I don't mean in the sense of what stands in the image but in the image itself ?
Let me explain: I want to show the boats with bed weather, not a boat in trouble because of it ...

These pictures were shot from inside the car, moving back and forward, over and over.
I still got my 70-200 wet. Just a bit. No big deal. The car was wet inside in spite of the wind ... or because of it

Try to set slow shutter speeds (TV mode) and focus on a subject using a wide enough aperature/focal length to capture rain falling. This will take some experimenting due to amount of rainfall, lighting conditions, and if the subject matter/colors can help capture the feel. We haven't had any rain for months here (very strange for Minnesota) and am going to experiment more myself.

This is another nice series Antonio, I can't say I have ever tried to go shooting in the rain, I am pretty sure none of my gear is water proof.

I like the third shot with some of the boats pulled up on the ramp in the forground....... great colours too Antonio .. Skippy (Australia)

Look like Shrimp boats.

I know they catch fish... may be shrimps also, but I don't think so.
There are a few in these waters as far as I know...
