How to Take Better Rainy Landscape Photos

When you step outside and are greeted by rainy weather, it can be tempting to turn around and head right back inside. However, if you are willing to brave those mundane conditions, you might be rewarded with worthwhile landscape images. This helpful video tutorial offers five tips to increase your chances of coming home with compelling shots. 

Coming to you from Henry Turner, this useful video tutorial discusses five bits of advice for landscape photography in inclement conditions. If you look at a lot of the most popular landscape imagery, you will probably notice it is taken during partly sunny weather, with golden rays cascading across the frame. Certainly, that can make for great photos, but just by virtue of its popularity, it can be quite difficult to make a photo that rises above the crowd. Moodier skies can help distinguish you right off the bat, and the drama they add can make for compelling and interesting images. Just be sure to take steps to protect both yourself and your gear! Check out the video above for the full rundown from Turner.
