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'm shooting a wedding this weekend and it's forecast to storm all day. Not a problem, it'll look great.

My question is this: when shooting the wedding party in the rain, would you have them under black or white umbrellas?

It actually depends on the scenario and lighting position. And personal taste.

If you like and have the chance to shoot with some light, and if they wear white umbrellas, you can get a nice luminous image. A bit of glow, but thats part of the magic in the scene.

If they have black umbrellas, they can contrast better with the sky; unless the sky is dark too.

There's a few variables here, and some you can't control like the weather specifics.

Both have the ability to provide great photos in the end.
