You don’t want to cancel because it will just add to your already busy schedule.

Do what I do, bump up the ISO and look for open shade!

Let’s break down this shot. I am in a building that has a loading dock on part of it with a covered area. Perfect place to shoot a portrait with open shade. Now obviously if it is raining, we are going to bump up the ISO. I shot this at 1000 ISO, and knowing that the largest it will be printed is probably a 16×20, I knew it wouldn’t be an issue.

By placing her against the window with the background, I was able to use what was there to make the shot more interesting. The walls inside the building are a sort of mustard color. The inside is also lit with light bulbs, so they are tungsten which makes it warm. Perfect, we need some warmth in this shot. It almost looks like I used a cool background projection on this, but this was just using what was available. Don’t make it harder, find some cool place with an overhang and use whatever you can with the background. I shot this with my 70-200 f2.8 at 2.8.

The hardest part of this whole thing was making sure I didn’t fall off the edge of the loading dock!

The next time it’s raining, look for nice covered areas with open shade. That way you don’t have to reschedule!
