Rain

Winter is famous for the cold wet weather.  The storms, frosty days, long nights and wood fires are all part of the season.  I love the dramatic skies, changing light, saturated natural colours and longer exposure time that winter brings.

Most people think that the best time to photograph subjects is when its bright, warm and sunny.  I’m not sure why that’s the case maybe it’s because that’s when we feel the happiest. We feel more energised during summer, of that there is no doubt.

Photography in the rain is something that fewer people enjoy, it’s easy to stay inside in the warm and wait for the warmer months.  When it’s raining fewer people go outside, and those that do scurry about, hurrying to their destination’s.  It’s easier to capture the more sombre emotions, like loneliness and sadness.  It’s also a great time to capture those beautiful shafts of light and water dripping from leaves and flowers.

Below is a gallery of my favourite images that I have captured in the rain
