Rain Photography in Urban London

Rain Photography in London
See a line of umbrellas when it rains in London

Head for the streets when it rains and see light bounce off the pavements creating illumination.  At any time of the year rain is always a welcome aspect for photographers as it helps us to capture very different types of shots.  In this photograph who could resist the rhythmical line of passer-byes and their umbrellas?   Not me for sure!  City pavings stones become a deeper tone than the regular mid grey.  This creates interesting surfaces of texture and colours for light to reflect back to the camera’s digital sensor.   Remember to keep the composition simple as it enables us to enjoy the reflective surfaces which rain and light creates.   I love London when it rains!
