How and why I take photos and video in the rain (and how YOU can too!)

[@jmrjmr3446]

Awesome videos. You really know your stuff. Love Humber Bay Park and all the other surrounding areas. We certainly have had a lot of Rain in the last couple of weeks. Looking forward to the snow, it really changes and simplifies what otherwise would be a dull, and/or chaotic landscape. JR

Thanks JR! Yes I agree. I haven't ventured out to that park lately because of all the construction, but that area is equally nice. Hopefully we get some wintery vibes sooner than later though. But in the meantime, it's great to shoot in the rain too. ;)

Great video, Taku! I really enjoyed the sound of the rain at the beginning of the video. I also didn't realize that the 180-600mm has an internal zoom. Good to know!

[@taku_kumabe]

Thanks Robin! That's what also makes this lens so big. ;)

Absolutely amazing and informative video my friend. I love shooting in the rain and the snow myself, I usually shoot with prime lenses when I shoot in the rain and snow.

[@taku_kumabe]

That's a good point. With a prime you won't have to worry about the rain or snow getting inside your lens like you might with a external zoom lens. Thanks buddy!

Awesome Taku, digging the tips and words of wisdom, can't have a soggy photographer! So cool your doppelganger "Director T", I find he's a lil' camera shy, and a lil' sleepy. I can guarantee the world we're living in is a better place with more Taku's 😊 Rock on Taku! 🤘

hehe...thanks Andy! I appreciate the enthusiasm and support. Director T is only found behind cameras usually.

This was great Taku. Very funny and great examples of opportunities to be creative in the rain. However, I’m not sure about that guy who was interviewing you - he seems pretty ‘dry’. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

[@taku_kumabe]

lol…nicely put. Director T is just camera shy. He prefers to stay behind the camera. 👍

I really enjoyed this interesting video. I need to hire your filling director...👍

[@taku_kumabe]

hehe, thanks Kurt! The director only works behind cameras. He's camera shy.
