Shooting portraits

Compared with photographing scenery or architecture, photographing people is not affected by weather conditions. Especially when the weather is cloudy and the light is soft, Kav Dadfar thinks it is a good time to shoot people or portraits, because it is not necessary to deal with the harsh light and contrast. In addition, I took advantage of this period of time to go deep into the lives of local people and look for cultural themes. I could take pictures of their work or recreation and integrate portraits into the environment.

Go to the market and take pictures

Some markets are indoors or partially covered, which means they're a good place to get shelter from the rain and wind, and you're less likely to care about the weather or light outside, so when the weather isn't ideal, just grab your camera and go to the market. In the market, there are many subjects waiting to be discovered, such as goods or ingredients that will be new and strange to visitors, which are worth recording with a camera. It's also a great opportunity to interact with locals and take their own portraits.

Take food

No matter rain or shine, you will not forget to take pictures of the food in front of you. In the restaurant, the weather will not affect you naturally. Even if it is cloudy or rainy, as long as you sit by the window, the light is still directional.

Photograph forests and waterfalls

After the heavy rain, it is a good time to photograph the waterfall, because there is plenty of water and a lot of sediment washed into the stream, which also gives us a chance to get a different "golden" color of the stream. The forest is also good for shooting on a rainy day, which can bring another sense of mystery. Just pay attention to the shutter speed to avoid hand shaking, because this kind of shooting environment is usually not enough light, depending on the use of legs or pull up the ISO.

Capture features and architectural details

In addition to the above, Kav Dadfar suggests focusing on taking close-up shots of beautiful decorations or tiles on mosques, sculptures on monuments, or striking images on buildings. In addition, you can also go to the park to take pictures of some local flowers or small animals.

Finally, Kav Dadfar also reminds everyone to keep your eyes open at any time. There are still many pictures worth capturing when the weather is bad. Even if the scenery is shot, the treacherous sky before the wind and rain is a good subject matter. In addition, might as well let yourself have a rest, the weather is bad, put down the camera, let yourself calm return to zero, relax tight nerves, stretched canvas prints australia reserve power waiting for the arrival of good weather!
