Prepare yourself

The rains can seem very attractive but you cannot simply grab your camera and head outside to shoot; you need to prepare yourself for it. We will first look at what gear and safety measures you will have to keep in mind for shooting in the monsoon season.

Rain gear

Before you protect your camera, protect yourself. Make sure you cover your head at all times and not get wet. It is important to take precaution to not fall sick, and avoid getting distracted from the photography. Make sure you wear a raincoat, a windcheater or carry an umbrella. You will also need to probably wear boots. Make sure everything you wear is waterproof to avoid getting your stuff wet.

Waterproof camera case

Just as you would wear waterproof clothing to protect yourself from getting wet, the camera also needs the same protection in the monsoon. There are different types of waterproof cases available, from basic protection to complete waterproof housing which even enables you to use the camera underwater. Decide which one will suit your needs the best. If buying a case is out of your budget then there are ways to make basic camera protection yourself as well. There are many DIY tutorials available that can teach you to make one for your camera.
