Getting off my bus this evening in a heavy downpour, apart from noting that my shell jacket had lost most of its ability to repel water, it occurred to me that, despite the rain (or even because of it), there were some promising photo opportunities.
I began to consider the logistics of hauling large format equipment out into the rain, and it struck me as complete insanity. Since complete insanity and large format photography are not mutually exclusive concepts, I raise the question: does anybody shoot in the rain? I don't mean getting caught in a shower unintentionally, or the odd light sprinkle, I'm talking about purposely venturing into a serious rainstorm specifically to make pictures with one's large format gear. If so, I'm really curious about it's managed.
