Rain's Coming ~ Rainy Season Japan

A constant hazard of doing photography, especially during rainy season.

Rainy Season is over now, but that is when I took this shot. I know rain's coming in the photo because moments after taking the shot it all let loose and I got very wet. I don't mind getting wet in the rain, but it's a little worrying when you have an expensive camera with you. Luckily it was fine.

This is a good spot to see herons and other nice birds. They are always flying up and down this area. In fact, often there is a group of photographers that gather here to do their bird photos.


Hi thereDavid LaSpina is an American photographer and translator lost in Japan, trying to capture the beauty of this country one photo at a time and searching for the perfect haiku.

Once I go out for an outdoor photoshoot. Then it started raining, I took out my disposable raincoat, and since it is raining heavily, I wrap my DSLR first. Covering myself was not a priority 🤣

Yes, exactly! When I was first learning the ropes, an old pro told me always bring a bag of some kind to cover the camera. Ideally one with a hole in the bottom so you can continue shooting in the rain. I have one of the rain protective bags you get at the camera stores, but I also just use plastic shopping bags at times.
