Cumbria, England, continued

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain. Photographing in the rain is fun because nothing stays the same for long. Light varies in degrees and all you have to do is stand in this dripping condition until the light is something you want to capture in your camera. When we were hiking in England, we had a nice variety of fog, rain, mist, overcast and sunshine. I like fog the best. It moves quickly, in and out, thick and thin. It is a moving display of light hiding and exposing at the same time. You get to take your pick. When shooting with low light, even with a digital camera, a tripod comes in handy. Some times I use trees, fence posts, rocks, what ever I can find that is solid. If you can get close to a hand held shutter speed and take 3 shots as fast as you can together, one of them should be in focus. Keeping your camera dry is absolutely necessary. It helps to keep your body dry also.
