It’s currently snowing here in Philadelphia and has me thinking about embracing the elements in Street Photography. I think that sometimes we get caught up with going out during certain hours and times of the day when the sun is out and the best conditions possible. I get that, but I believe that you should go out there, no matter the weather or the time and day…
Bad weather, good photographs
Maybe bad weather is good for photography. It leaves us with different a new atmosphere in our city to explore. The elements from rain become interesting. The puddles on the ground become portals into new worlds. The snow covering surfaces become this beautiful blanket, covering everything it touches. My personal favorite is foggy conditions over the rivers here in Philadelphia. This condition creates the most magical times to photograph. I believe that there are potential photographs to be made in these bad conditions. It’s sometimes exhilarating to go out there with your camera during the poor weather as well. Bring an umbrella, pack a coat, and stay as dry as possible!
