Maybe you should stop treating your rabel like something that needs care and protection.

What do you photograph when the sky is grey and everything is just so dull.

Beats not using your new camera

>>2775080
So what? Your camera can handle the rain. Also, there are many things to take photos of inside. Portraits, still life, macro, etc.

>>2775130
Anything that doesn't require a clear interesting sky? Stories. Interesting things. The light on a cloudy day is EXCELLENT for portraiture near an open door or window or archway or something similar.

dont you have any poor neighborhoods or the countryside in england

I thought canon bases and lenses were weather sealed?

>>2775080
Happened to me last year. Fells ban man.

>>2775080
wish it would rain here when i have time to shoot - it's less comfortable to shoot in but way more interesting for photos than a sunny day

>>2775405
OP's body is weather resistant so I don't see his problem

But it's out of focus, anon.

>>2775865
It is in focus. The image is soft due to a layer of dust in the focusing group causing diffraction softness at all aperture ranges.
I need to machine a few special tools to take the lens apart and clean it, if it is possible, until then I'm not afraid to use it.
Oh, it is also a manual focus lens.

Intredasting. I live in Australia and would love some different weather, its great that its fine blue skies for weeks at a time, but I like the dark, wet weather, its more interesting.

>>2775080
>rained every day since i purchased it

Fuckin northenfags. Time you moved down south where the weather isn't always blowing sideways.

>>2775872
I find that the sunny clear sky with sharp contrasty shadows and strong light makes the most boring shots. Everything is strongly lit or goes into dark shadows with lots of loss in detail.
Cloudy and overcast sky gives a much more even diffuse lighting and makes the most detail visible. It can also give more emotional depth to certain scenes and landscapes can get that timeless look.
If it's sunny clear skies out there I don't even bother to go out shooting anymore.

>>2775555
I like it to rain before I go out so I can get some natty reflections.

>>2776362
yeah it's easier that way but i eventually found that the reflections look even better in the minutes after the rain has stopped rather than 30 mins or more later

>>2775872
Same here , i have not a lot of time to shoot so it really pisses me off when the day/ night i have to shoot is cloudless

>>2775120
>i'm so sophisticated i have bad circulation and still go outside

>>2775823
THIS

EVERY
FUCKING
TIME

>>2775823
Literally every day
Even today

real niggas shoot whenever. fuck a weather

>>2775080
Then shoot night city pictures, those can look great with wet street reflecting colorful lights. You can find beautiful shit to shoot in every kind of weather.

A legit medical condition. I can fracture bones easily in the cold. On top of that I have nerve damage.

I still go outside and shoot when I can, and it's starting to warm up a bit again.

>>2776922
A medical condition where a few degrees of temperature change will affect the brittleness of your bones?
Give me the name of it or shut the fuck up.

>>2776935
>medical condition where a few degrees of temperature change will affect the brittleness of your bones?
That's not it at all.
>give me the name of it or shut the fuck up
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Symptoms and severity are different for most people diagnosed with the genetic mutation.
I generally have chronic pain in my arms and hands all year round, but in the cold weather my joints are less stable and can lock in place or dislocate easier. If too much pressure is placed on a lock joint, it usually fractures.
It took 6 months to heal one fracture in my right hand when I broke it in October last year.

If he just bought his first dslr, what makes you think he owns a tripod.

>>2775868
>The image is soft due to a layer of dust in the focusing group causing diffraction softness at all aperture ranges.
No, it's because the focus is clearly on some twigs in front of the owls.

>>2775868
You sound like in insufferable cunt. On top of that you shoot a pentax. Eat a bag of dicks.

>>2777913

aye but if the weather wasn't so shite what would we talk about?

>>2777922
Are you Irish? Got a blog where I can see your work? Don't usually browse /p/ but I'm assuming that tripfags here are the better photographers.

>>2777913
Brah, I live in BC, we get like maybe 1 clear sunny day every 2 weeks.
It's overcast at least 75% of the time, the other 25% is rain.

>>2776950
you can go to any fucking secondhand store in existence and get a tripod for less than $10, you can find surfaces to rest the camera on

>>2777928
>Don't usually browse /p/ but I'm assuming that tripfags here are the better photographers.
