shooting in rain protection?
shooting in rain protection?
When shooting houses and buildings in the rain, what is the best way to
protect the camera and the photographer?
One thing I can think of is a hat umbrella. But it looks kind of
unprofessional, especially most of these are multi-color toy-like.
Is there something else that works and also looks professional?

There are housings for using cameras underwater, somewhat overkill for just
rainy day use.
There are also glove-like arrangements that are a blank filter with a
plastic bag attached. The filter is mounted on the camera and the bag covers
the camera. Ypu reach inside the bag to operate the camera.
I've taken my old Canon FX out on rainy days many times. I dry it off after
use, set it in front of the air conditioner or heat duct for a while and it
still works just fine.

I'm going to make rain protector for my camera myself.
I will use raincoat and take part of that. You lens goes where
your hand normally goes and so on.
I will probably not look so professional but at least it should
work with longer lenses too.

We have found a new wonderful product that we use all time in outdoor
shooting that protects our equipment and is very professional looking.
