A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I shot some stuff with a classic Canon 5D in a hotel driveway. It was raining outside but I was under cover. Camera started doing weird stuff and took a day or so to settle down.

I shoot a Panasonic full frame, weather sealed camera. My partner shoots in a canon m5. We both shoot in the rain and nothings happen to her camera. Weather sealing is nice to have if you constantly shoot in adverse conditions, most cameras survive light rain.

Weather is very important for everything?

For strong weather it'll change the landscape to begin with?

For low weather change...it litteraly means lightning change? And a bad lightning with a bad angle means a bad photo?

My L glass is weather sealed, but I've also shot in rain with the 6D and it's not come out the worse for wear (worst case, it shut down during one protest and then came right back after I let it dry in my vehicle).

That being said, one of the reasons I'm looking at higher end RF bodies is for the better weather sealing. I often shoot in New England or other places where the rain just won't cooperate with you.
