My worst rain conditions were at Barber Motorsports Park a few years back while covering IndyCar. The race was postponed until the next day because of the rain and that doenst happen very often. I used the cheap clear plastic covers and they did keep my gear dryish and nothing broke but they slid all the time and would not stay on the lens hood so I was always needing to adjust it. I bought Thinktank right after that and finally used them for the first time a few months ago at a night high school football game and loved them! I still keep a few of the cheap clear covers around but only for emergencies like you do. Thanks for the video and the tips!
Shot in a lot of small school fields like that in the rain. Definitely a pain but sometimes you get something really nice. The worst thing that has happened to me so far is having to replace the camera mainboard on my D4S years ago because it got too wet (cover failure.) I use Topaz Photo AI right now (successor to Denoise and Sharpen) and on most shots like that a little better than Lightroom's Denoise. LR creates a new file anyway so using a third party tool doesn't take any longer. You can use it in LR or outside and on more than one picture. I've also used DxO PureRaw 3 and Neat Image 9. They are all close in functionality, there are some process differences that might make you choose one over the other. Right now Photo AI gets regular updates, which is a plus to me. Thanks for the videos!
Nice job, stay on the positive side of how to shoot in that type of lighting. Don’t compare that lighting just give us the best of how to survive the night 😊
You have a great camera. I have a Canon T7i and a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. I usually set my maximum ISO to 1600 because I can't control the noise at 3200. My shutter speed is usually 1/500 or higher.low light is always a problem😄😄
@@Paul_Rutherford yes. Select the settings you want, select all, and one button and it goes photo to photo. It takes a little bit of time for the program to get through all of the photos depending on how many you have, but well worth the wait in my opinion. I just let it go, walk away for 5 minutes and come back.
Whats the worst conditions you've ever shot in? Ever snapped your monopod?

They are definitely harder to use, but great in a pinch.
I have the think tank cover. Works pretty good.

Thats tough that you had to replace a camera mainboard. Thanks for the info about Topaz. Heard only good things.
I've dealt with very similar conditions awhile back lol; you seemed to handle it well! Great video
Thanks!
I always stay til the end. Thanks for another great vid! ;-)
haha, I appreciate it!

Survival is a great way to put it when its that bad. haha

Totally agree! It can be tough with those cameras. I started out with a T2i and it was unforgiving in the low light.
Tip 1: accept your fate. it only goes uphill from. Rain makes me so happy when I shoot!! the dark is no fun tho!
Miss photographing in the rain with you!
Great tips!…..
Glad it was helpful!
It's amazing that the gear holds up in conditions like that. Also, having good waterproof shoes is a must!
Totally agree!
Enjoyed the video and perspective. That fields lights looked horrible! I use topaz denoise and that seems to work well.
They were the worst. Good to know! I've heard and seen good things about Topaz. I used it a few years ago. Can you batch a bunch of images at once?
