Danny Santos' Bad Weather brings me the idea about focusing on which part of the people in the rain.Martin U Waltz is the other street photographer who gives me helps.
On his website, he write about how to do street photography in the rain.Exclude the basic tips, such as take a umbrella or make the camera waterproof, he also gives an important tip to me.
He stresses that in the rain, a kind of weak light environment, looking for other interesting light is very important.In his examples, car lights, city lights and neon lights can be good light sources in a photo.
