DSLR maintenance on rainy daysThe maintenance of the DSLR camera on rainy days mainly had the following aspects:
1. ** Use of Protective Equipment **
- You can use a special rain cover, an umbrella, or use a sealed bag or a professional protective cover to increase your protection. If you want to shoot on rainy days, it is recommended to use a waterproof camera bag to carry the camera, and use an umbrella or plastic to protect the lens when shooting.
- In daily use, if the camera's protective performance was average, using a special rain cover or umbrella could reduce the exposure of the equipment to water vapor.
2. ** Avoiding unnecessary operations **
- Before shooting on rainy days, make sure that the battery is fully charged and the memory card has enough space. This way, there is no need to open the battery compartment/memory card slot of the camera to replace it, thereby reducing the chance of moisture entering the camera.
- Most single-lens reflex cameras were designed with an changeable lens. It was best to avoid changing the lens on rainy days because when changing the lens, there was a high chance that water vapor and dust would be sucked into the camera. If you must change the lens, you must find a place that is leeward, move quickly, and place the lens bayonet down. Your hand should be on the lens barrel that does not move, not on the focus ring or the zoom ring. To avoid potential physical damage to the zoom structure.
3. ** Cleaning and maintenance of the camera **
- If the lens was wet by the rain, first use the air to blow the lens vigorously and quickly to blow out most of the moisture. Then, drip a large amount of lens cleaning liquid on the lens cloth. Before the cleaning liquid evaporated, use the cloth to quickly wipe the lens. Rubbing it a few times will help dilute the impurities in the rain. Next, he used the dry part of the lens cloth to wipe the lens clean. After the lens was cleaned, he used the air to blow at the various buttons, gaps, and turntables of the lens and camera to blow out the remaining water. Then, he used a dry towel or soft cloth to clean the camera.
4. ** Storage of the camera **
- The humidity is high on rainy days, so the camera should be stored in a dry environment after use. If the humidity in the area is relatively high and there is a lot of plum rain (such as Guangdong), you can buy a moisture box if you have the conditions. Usually, the camera and accessories are placed in the moisture box to dry. The moisture box can maintain a humidity of 40%-50% all year round, which has a better protective effect on the equipment. If the conditions do not allow, you can also buy some drying agents or color-changing silica gel to dry.

How to reply on rainy daysIf it was a high EQ chat reply, when the other party said that it was raining and felt cold, it could be said that the world in the rain had a different flavor although it was cold. The other party shared the scenery in the rain, and could respond to the beautiful and gentle world in the rain or the sound of the raindrops as a symphony of nature. When the other party mentioned the melancholy mood in the rain, it could be said that this was a unique emotional experience, and a walk in the rain also had a different flavor. When the other party asked if they wanted to go out, they could answer to enjoy the quiet rainy days at home, such as reading books and listening to music. When the other party mentioned loneliness on rainy days, it could be said that loneliness was also enjoyment, listening to music and watching movies, or suggesting to share lonely rainy days together. If the other party was 'crush', the response to express resonance would be to ask if he had brought an umbrella, or to ask if it was suitable to meet on a sunny day. If the girl said it was raining, she could use humor to establish a connection, such as saying that the other party mentioned the rain and made her panic without an umbrella. Then, based on the other party's response, she could continue the topic and plant a small ambiguous relationship. In addition, he could also start a topic based on some rain-related chants, such as first rain, lightning, and avoiding heavy rain.

Cameras, portrait photography on rainy daysThere were a few things to pay attention to when taking portraits on rainy days:
** I. Pre-Shooting preparations **
1. ** Equipment Protection **
- In light rain weather, you can make a simple self-made protection. Use a plastic bag to wrap the camera tightly. After the lens is equipped with a UV-lens, wrap it with plastic wrap. If conditions permit, it is best to prepare a waterproof cover for the camera. At the same time, wear a raincoat to shoot.
- If rainwater enters the camera, immediately cut off the power supply (when the camera is turned on) or remove the battery (when the camera is turned off). You can put the camera in the rice to deal with it. If the situation is serious, send it to the repair center.
2. ** Prepare the lighting equipment **
- There was insufficient light on rainy days, and the light was relatively flat. The permanent lights, flashes, and other light filling equipment could shape the character's shape and enhance the image's penetrative feeling. Lighting was especially important when shooting portraits on rainy nights.
3. ** Other preparations **
- If the model needed to be showered with rain and water, it was best to use waterproof cosmetics. If the model has long hair, you can use an umbrella to maintain the shape or plan the order of the photo to reflect the story.
- Pre-planning the shooting posture or situation and communicating with the model.
- Prepare dry clothes and a large towel, use a waterproof shoulder camera bag and a raincoat with the camera bag, or use one camera and one lens to reduce the burden.
** 2. Key Points in Shooting **
1. ** Selection of background **
- Look for a dark background to highlight the rain. It can also be used as a foil when shooting portraits. If you want to shoot a beautiful picture with a shallow depth of field, you can use a large aperture; if you want to shoot a sense of depth and layering, you can reduce the aperture appropriately to make the background appear hazy.
- When using a telephoto lens, the background was easy to compress. The distance between the character and the background was closer, and the raindrops were more likely to appear on the black background.
2. ** Exposed treatment **
- Photometering was based on the accurate exposure of the subject's face. At the same time, the model's eyes should be emphasized.
- Using a large aperture to increase the amount of light entering, blurring the background and improving the exposure in a dark rainy environment. You can also use a higher-quality camera or use a tripod to prevent blurring and trembling due to slow shutter speeds.
- There was not enough light on rainy days, and the picture was easy to be under-exposed. You could use a large aperture to get enough exposure, but when the light was insufficient, increasing the sensitivity to obtain a higher shutter speed would affect the image quality.
3. ** Light usage **
- To create a sense of atmosphere by shining a flashlight on one side of the face, and to create a facula effect, you can shoot from a backlit angle and light up the face with a more powerful light at 45 degrees to the side of the person.
- Different lights can be used to create a sense of atmosphere when shooting. For example, when shooting portraits on rainy days during the day, a lamp with a higher power can be used.
- When shooting at night, use a flash to highlight the transparent texture of the water, but be careful not to overexpose it. Point light source silhouette can be placed behind the model, using the "big back light" to make the model silhouette/half silhouette.
4. ** Shutter speed adjustment **
- A shutter of more than 1/1000 seconds can freeze the state of water droplets in the air; the side wind can make the raindrops form a diagonal line to render the momentum of wind and rain; the rapid rotation of the umbrella and the high-speed shutter can capture the dynamic beauty of the raindrops.
- The shutter speed had to take into account the character's factor, so that the character maintained a stable posture. The camera's exposure time was controlled within 2 seconds, so that the character could be clearly photographed and the effect of rain could be taken.
5. ** Scene selection **
- Flowers, forests, roadside, seaside, colorful amusement parks, parks with many green plants, cafes, empty lawns, rooftops, buses, and even gray skies were all ideal shooting scenes. The simpler the scene, the better.
- A park with a lot of green plants was the ideal scene for shooting. The water droplets on the plants could add to the atmosphere, but safety issues should be taken care of when shooting on the street or by the sea.
6. ** Character Styling and Props **
- Let the model hold a cup of warm milk tea, wear a bright dress, hold a transparent umbrella, etc. to attract the audience's attention; use a red umbrella color matching or let the model hold a small tomato to look to the side, etc. to take a beautiful photo.
