When the Weather Goes Bad - You Can Get Some Good Shots!

New Croton Dam in HDR. 

Don't put your camera away when the weather goes bad - as it is scheduled to do tomorrow and Sunday.

You can get some great shots! 

Protect your camera with a plastic bag or a professional camera protector:

Ewa-Marine C-35 - Rain jacket ( for camera )

Don't let any water droplets or mist get on your lens. 

Bring a lens cloth and a soft cloth to keep your camera dry.

Try shooting from your car.

Try shooting HDR, as I did for the opening picture for this post. Here is the info.

Title: Croton Dam in the Mist

Location: Croton-on-Hudson, NY

Exposures:  0, +2, -2 EV

Tip: Use low ISO settings and a neutral density filter outdoors when photographing moving water. That combo will let you shoot at slow shutter speeds to blur the water, creating a soft and silky effect.

New to HDR? You can save 15% when you order Photomatix by using this code: ricksammon.

 We shoot here on my Croton Creative Workshop - when the weather is usually perfect in the fall.

Explore the light,

Rick

P.S. I am ready to shoot during the hurricane!
