Rainy Day Photography: 35 Dazzling Examples

A lot of photographers consider the bad weather as one of the worst things for shooting high quality photos outside. In my opinion, there is no bad or good weather for shooting photographs, as each weather has got its own beauty. Bad weather, especially the raining time, is the best period to try out and shoot some rare and beautiful works into your portfolio.

That said, in this post we want to showcase you 35 photographs which show not only intriguing beauty but elegance and uniqueness, and they are all captured during the rain. Take a hot coffee, and enjoy the frozen moment of the rain.

Rainwalk. Rainwalk, as this photograph is named, is probably the best name for it. It doesn’t contain many elements in it, however, those drops of rain, bokeh effect, different lights on the back, make it a worthy shot. (Image Source: Evgeniya Righini-Brand & My God, It’s Full Of Stars!)
