Steve Hyde Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I was following a thread in the another topic in the forum over the weekend. It was about getting out in the recent good weather, here in the UK, to take some stock photos. Long story short, someone mentioned it had started to rain on his 'good weather' shoot putting an end to that days fun. That was followed by a comment by someone else, that bad weather was no excuse to put the camera away. I whole heartedly agree agree with that. I'm not to precious over my equipment and some of my favourite photos, in my small portfolio, have been taken in some awful weather conditions. Here's an example I took of a couple on a beach at. T4 event a few summers ago. It still makes me smile and was printed in The Sun newspaper. I wondered if anyone else felt the same, with some examples of course 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Woods Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I love bad weather, its one of my favourite things. A couple of pics from me Really black clouds behind a lovely church at Jokkmokk in Sweden. Yes, I got wet. I wasn't a stock shooter back then so I didn't take pictures of the deluge and everyone running from it (which was a waste of energy as everyone was soaked through in 5 seconds). Big summer storm passing Maria in Gaspesie, Quebec. Nice thread Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpics Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I'm very pleased with this one. The Hyde Park rangers were already standing by ready to chop down this tree. But I got there first and it was on The Sun website. Yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imageplotter Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 2 am night time thunderstorm near Positano, Amalfi Coast. So loud I couldn't sleep, so thought I might as well set up the tripod When it rains in Havana, it really chucks it down Clergy - always prepared for divine weather intervention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brasilnut Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Quote Unfortunately it's the same ones who get weather images used and get retweets most of the time. That's why I haven't bothered for a while as it's just a waste of time, and very frustrating when I was doing so well. I guess it helps if you live next to the sea?

Brasilnut Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Quote It certainly does, and I do.
