Signs about the rain occupied an important place in the life of our ancestors, as many aspects of the pastime were connected with the weather.

What signs about the rain concern the weather
By the size of bubbles on the puddles, you can find out how strong the rain will be long. The more bubbles, the longer it will be more and stronger.
If the rain has begun on summer in the morning, the sun will come out after dinner, the afternoon will be for afternoon. Shower, which began with large droplets, will not go long. If you, then the sun will soon come out. Morning dual or triple arc - to long rain.
Shortly before the rain it is difficult to open wooden window frames and doors. Rain worms crawl into the surface, chickens and other birds bathe in the sand and road dust, and the roosters can shrink without visible reasons. Cows sniffed to the air, often raising heads up, and the horses are shaking their heads and sharply throw them.
If the day the frogs squabble loudly - it is to precipitation. It is also interpreted to accept the screaming seagulls going on the shore. Swallows in front of the showle fly below. The crows usually do noisily in the cold season, but if this happens among the summer - it will rain soon. Before such weather, insects are trying to hide, and midges begin to annoy people more.
If you are in nature and have no opportunity to read the weather forecast, take a look at the world around. Before the rain, dandelions and baskets are closed, the fragrance of wildflowers is enhanced, and the burdock spreads the hooks on the cones. If there is no wind, and the smoke of the fire nails to the ground - this is to precipitation.
What other signs talk about bad weather? Fog rising from the water bodies to the clouds - to the rain. Bright stars at night and heavy clouds are forever foreshadow in lunchtime. The bugger sky after sunset and the red color of the sun - to the bad weather. Pink clouds during sunrise also foreshadow rain. Before the sediments there are no dew in the morning.
Determine the probability of rain and on the moon. If, during the full moon it is muddy and does not shine brightly, it is. The Red Moon, which seemed to increase in size, also promises rainy weather.
Signs about the rain on the holiday
If you hit the rain to the Annunciation, pay attention to those who need your help and support, as well as for children - perhaps something went wrong. Rain at Easter promises good luck in business. True, it is necessary to hit it by chance.
If you wet the ascension, make a desire associated with a spiritual life and it will come true. There is an opinion that it is not necessary to fall under the shower for this, you can make a desire at home. Getting under the rain on Ivan Kupala to lunch means getting healing, getting rid of problems and good luck.
It is especially worth paying attention to the precipitation on the day of marriage. If the bride and the bride get into the registry office, on the way to him or from there, it leads to good and good family life. Most likely, the couple will have many children. Bad when bad weather found immediately before the wedding or after. Read more about the value of the rain for a wedding, read in other articles of our site.
Folk Signals about the benefits of rainwater
In the old days it was believed that water from heaven has special properties. It was bathing babies, because they believed that they would start talking earlier, would well develop and differ strong health.
During the first thunderstorm in a year, we need to wash with water from the sky to strengthen your health. If you wash your hair, they will better grow and look beautiful.
Water in the rain money to protect against loss and theft.
In an old water, the water from heaven was collected and stored for the preparation of healing brazers from herbs. They returned youth and beauty, helped girls to become more attractive. You can follow the advice of our ancestors and prepare herbal infusions. Washing them, you will definitely notice the result. Warts were treated with such water, filmed headaches, removed eye diseases.
Rainwater, collected in Ilyin Day (August 2), helps in, damage and other types of negative magical impact. Voznesenskaya has healing properties. Collect water should be in a clean vessel right from the sky, dripping from trees and roofs - does not fit.
Other challenges about the rain
Bad weather a funeral is a good sign. The soul of the deceased reached heaven and found his place in the afterlife world. Some believe that precipitation is crying nature about the death of a good person.
Loose -. Good when it rains on the road. But you should not cancel plans because of bad weather, most likely, you are big lucky on this day. If the precipitation was caught by surprise, and the umbrella stayed at home, do not be discouraged, they will bring good luck. Some believe that it is to new clothes.
The sun during the shower is to a drowned man. Rain in a dream - to the crop. For business people or those who do not have their own garden, such a dream foreshadows money losses.
Sights related to precipitation, previously had a purely practical importance, so it is worth listening to them.
Insufficient visibility It is understood as a temporary position caused by weather or other phenomena (fog, rain, snowfall, blizzard, twilight, smoke, dust, water splashes and dirt, a blinding sun), when the distance on which the object in question can be distinguished from the background, is less than 300 meters .
These weather conditions have a significant impact on road safety.
During rain
The main danger when driving in the rain is the deterioration of the clutch of the wheels with the road. The clutch coefficient on wet roads is reduced by 1.5-2 times, which worsens the resistance of the car, and most importantly - the braking path increases sharply. Especially dangerous asphalt concrete roads, covered with mud or wet fallen leaves, when tire clutch with an expensive decreases even more.
Just that started rain, which makes the coverage of the road very slippery, since dust, the smallest particles of autoresin, particles of soot and oils made of car exhaust pipes are wetted and spread along the road, creating very slippery on it, like soap, film. At the beginning of the rain, it is necessary to be especially careful, be sure to reduce speed, avoid overtaking, sharp rotation of the steering wheel and sharp braking. As the rain is strengthened and continues, the dirty film is flushed with rain and with a long rain, the clutch coefficient with the road again increases. Concrete and asphalt coatings with a processed special rough surface, washed over with rain, have a clutch coefficient close to the coefficient of the dry coating.
After the cessation of rain, as dirt dries, it first turns into a dirty slippery film, and the clutch coefficient is also reduced. It is necessary to be careful before drying the road. Dirt turns into dust, and the clutch coefficient is restored.
The dependence of the clutch coefficient with the road from the duration of the rain is shown in Fig. one
Fig. 1. The dependence of the clutch coefficient with the road from the duration of the rain:
- time T0 - T1 - the beginning of the rain;
- time T1 - T2 - the duration of the rain;
- time T2 - T3 - Road drying time.
When moving at high speed on a wet road in passenger cars is observed between the tires and the expensive formation of the water wedge - the hydraulic and the so-called aquaplaning. When moving along a wet road with a low wheel speed, moisture in the groove of the tire tread pattern and squeeze it through the roughness of the road coating, the tires touch the dry surface of the road. If you are driving a car during the rain, then you see the dry trail from the wheels immediately behind the car. With a high speed of movement and a large amount of water on the wheel of the wheel, you do not have time to squeeze moisture, and then water remains under them, the wheels float over the surface of the road. The sign of the appearance of the water wedge is the sudden ease of controlling the steering wheel. The small depth of the tread pattern, the less specified above, the low air pressure in the tires and the smooth road coating of the asphalt road contribute to the appearance of aquaplaning even with small speeds of motion, since the wheel does not have time to squeeze water out of themselves.
It is possible to fight this phenomenon only with a decrease in speed. In this situation, the engine braking should be used, i.e., smoothly reduce the press on the gas pedal. At the same time, we must try not to use working brakes, as water reduces their effectiveness.
Splashes of dirty water and liquid dirt from under the wheels of counter and overtaking vehicles can instantly pour windshield, and for some time you will not see anything in front. Do not lose in this situation and, most importantly, do not brake sharply, immediately turn on the washer and wiper with a high frequency of movement. Do not rotate the steering wheel and smoothly reduce the press on the gas pedal. After a few seconds, the visibility will restore.
It is necessary to take into account when you drive a puddle at high speed, then the following troubles are possible:
- spray mud and even leave water from the legs to the head of pedestrians;
- water from under the wheels of your car will fall on the front glass and reduce the visibility;
- water also falls into the windscarette space, and entering even several drops of water to the ignition coil, the distributor or wires can drown the engine;
- water entering the air intake can lead to engine breakdown;
- under water there may be different dangers: pits, stones, etc.;
- western brake pads and can deny the brakes.
- if the wheels on one side of the car fall into the puddle, then the car can apply, since the magnitude of the tire clutch with an expensive from different sides will be unequal.
Rain changes the type of road surface. Light and matte in a dry state, the asphalt concrete coating becomes dark and brilliant, and notice on such a road a dark obstacle is very difficult. Movement under these conditions, even if there are no obstacles, tedious. The driver has the impression that it rushes into a dark abyss, intersected with sparkles of raindrops, sparkling in the light of headlights.
On the wet road surface, white road marking becomes an almost invisible day and completely invisible at night. Driver's duty - to strengthen caution during the rain so that it fill up bad visibility, and lead the car smoothly, without a sharp change in the direction, choose the speed corresponding to visibility, you can also include front and rear fog lights, side glass raise until it stops.
In the conditions of Tuman
Driving a car in fog conditions requires even more experience than in the rain. Sometimes the fog is so strong and creates such a greater danger that it is necessary to interrupt the trip and patiently wait for the change of weather. Fog creates dangerous road conditions. Dozens of cars are involved in the accident during the fog, dying and gaining injury to a large number of people.
The fog greatly reduces the visibility zone, contributes to the deception of vision, makes it difficult to orientation. He distorts the perception of vehicle speed and distance to items. It seems to you that the subject is far (for example, the light of the headlights of the countercourse), and in fact it is close. The speed of the car seems small to you, and in fact it moves quickly. Togo distorts the color color of the subject, except red. Therefore, the signal of the traffic light is red to be clearly visible in any weather, so red cars are considered less dangerous.
Fog influences the psyche of a person: bad visibility, constant tension, a sudden appearance from the fog of another vehicle, which seemed to be far away, - cause severe nervous voltage at the driver. He is nervous and admits incorrect actions to drive a car. Eyes quickly get tired and reduce the driver's ability to respond to changes in the road situation. The headlights do not illuminate the road at all, their light is only crashed into a fog with bright blinding beams. In the fog, you can make a mistake in choosing a road, landmarks are closed with fog, intersections are not visible.
In the fog follows:
- reduce the speed of movement, it should not exceed half the distance of visibility in meters. So, when visible 20 m, it should be no more than 10 km / h;
- be ready to stop within the limits of the visibility of the road;
- you should go with the lowlight light of the headlight, which better illuminates the road than the far;
- when moving with long-term light, the crossing with the oncoming transport to produce without switching to the neighbor, since blinding in the fog is excluded;
- in the presence of foglights, with a strong mist, turn on them together with the near light. They have a low and wide beam of yellow light, which is better penetrating through the fog than white light of ordinary headlights;
- if the visibility of the road is less than 50 m, they can be included independently;
- rear fog lanterns include jointly with overall lights;
- turn on wipers;
- when fogging the glasses, turn on the system of heating and ventilation of the cabin, as well as the electrical heater of the rear window;
- with a very strong fog, you can try to see the road in front of the car, having dried my head into the door window;
- periodically, it is necessary to check its speed on the speedometer;
- to improve visibility in the fog leaning over the steering wheel and bring the eyes closer to the front glass. This situation is very tedious, but periodically, they need to use;
- if there is marking, take the central position between the lines of markup, the separating strip;
- it is also possible to navigate on the road in the sidewalk, sideways, and especially on a solid white line of markup, denoting the edge of the roadway;
- the driver's door window is better to keep open and listen to the noise of other vehicles;
- periodically use the beep, especially on the country road.
In the fog should not:
- approach too close to the car ahead;
- use the back lights of the front car as a guideline, you will have a false idea of \u200b\u200bthe distance and its speed;
- watch in one place in front of the car - the eyes quickly get settled, they will tear and the eyesight will weaken;
- put a car in the parking lot within the road;
- move too close to the axial, and you can create a dangerous situation;
- trying to slip the fog strip in a lowland on the road. It is on this site that objects and people can be hidden;
- trying to overtake ahead of the coming transport - it is risky and dangerous.
Not so much fog threatens the safety of movement, how much the technique of your driving used in fog conditions.
Filing sun
Light in the eyes of the summer sun tirows eyesight and reduces the concentration of attention, reduces visibility. In the evening, in the morning and in winter, when the sun is low above the horizon, the light falls almost parallel to the road, the load on the eyes increases significantly. Move against the sun is not only hard, but sometimes dangerous. The road is greatly glorified, reflecting the rays of the sun, and the vehicles seem to be contrasting black. Silhouettes of people are lost on the road in the brilliance of the sun disk, as the pupils of our eyes are narrowed by limiting the amount of light into the eyes. Due to this, the visibility of objects in the shade deteriorates.
If the road periodically passes through the shadow dropped by roadside objects, then at the time of entering the shadow, the driver is experiencing a sudden decline in visibility. This is due to the fact that the pupils of our eyes require a certain time to adapt to a sharp change in the intensity of light.
Driving a car when moving against the low sun, both with its full light and on the darkened areas requires a significant increase in attention. In addition, when moving against the Sun, the color of the traffic lights, stop signals and signs of turns of transport are noticeably pale. As a result, they do not attract your attention to due measure. And this affects safety.
With the sun, luminous from behind, it is even more difficult to distinguish the traffic lights, and all the rear lights of the vehicle glitter the reflected light and do not allow you to determine which flashlight is burning, and which is not. In this case, you need to move so that the shade from your car fell on the vehicle ahead. Then you will be much easier to watch his rear lanterns.
The low sun, luminous side, the driver is transferred easier, although also delivers trouble, forming strong contrasts of shadows on the carriageway.
In all these cases, it is necessary to use the antickery visor that restoring the visibility of the road. However, it is not recommended to use dark glasses, as they limit the brightness of the illuminated areas of the road and at the same time reduce the visibility of places and objects in the shade and because of this not enough.
Other weather phenomena.
The road becomes especially dangerous during the first snowfall(Photo 1), ko-gda on the roadway appears the rambling snow and the first ice. At this time, the number of paths on pedestrians increases sharply, because they have not had time to adapt to the changed conditions of movement yet.
Photo 1. Snowfall.
Due to the applied reagents on the roads, mud messengers are formed, flying from under the wheels in front of cars right on the windshields riding from behind. The result is a sharp deterioration of visibility. Constantly included wipers and the huge consumption of glass fluid help poorly.
Visibility worsens, the number of accidents is growing. And this is true for all cars without exception.
IN twilight And in the dark, visibility deteriorates significantly. Visibility on the road plays an important role, since more than 90% of the information necessary for the safety of movement, a person gets through vision. The eyes of a person are arranged so that they need time to get used to the dark. But still night vision is significantly worse than daylight. With poor lighting, at dusk, drivers are not very well distinguished, which is done on derso-ge, besides, the eyes are poorly distinguished by colors. For example, the red color seems dark and even black. Green looks lighter than red. When approaching the traffic light, his signals seem to be white, and only later we begin to distinguish colors. First of all, it becomes, visible green, then yellow and red.
Worst of all go to the semitime, when only starts to dawn or darken. On the highway, you can hardly distinguish obstacles. At dusk, when long shadows interfere with distinguishing individual items, the distant light will help, although it seems not intense enough. It is not enough for full highway lighting, but it will allow to notice the obstacle, unexpectedly arising before the car.
The driver's response time on an obstacle arising on the road in conditions of reduced visibility is increasing by an average of 0.6 ... 0.7 s and more, which is explained by the need for the cost of time to recognize this obstacle.
At night, at least, the headlights help to see, and at dusk light headlights lightly illuminates the road. At this time, nothing helps, besides reducing speed and increase vigilance.
During rain, susceptibility to various external energy influences increases. This facilitates the extrasensory effect of the rain per person. On the other hand, in the rain, a person easily absorbs energy information, which is often negative.
When the devil hits his wife
To strengthen the beneficial effect of rain and get positive energy from it, experts advise to massage the index and thumbs of both hands. If you know that such weather always has adverse consequences for you, you can strengthen the body resistance to its negative impact with the help of a massage of the maizintors. Women massage the right little finger, men - left.
In addition to the fact that the rain spilled on the groom with the bride when leaving the registry office, wets them from head to the legs, he foreshadowed them with family happiness and a bunch of children.
At the same time, there is a belief that if the rain goes during the funeral, it will mean that the soul of the deceased successfully reached heaven. On the other, take it - the rain cries the dead man and, therefore, he was a good person.
In many countries, before this day, they believe that the baby who was bought in rainwater will speak before the peers. And, by the way, in England there is a somewhat unexpected way to stop rain - the older child is sent to the street in the family, where he must undress Donag and stand up!
In Russia, to get under the rain has always been considered a good admission, especially if a person goes to the road falls under the rain.
When the rain drops suddenly fall from a clear sunny sky, in India they say that at this time the devil hits his wife.
Who wakes up with rainwater during the first thunderstorm, the one for the whole year will not be silent. The first spring rain wet your head so that the hair grew up as fast as the May Grass. They also believe that money washed by rainwater will never steal.
Children run in the rain faster grow faster. Rain drops behind the collar - to surprise.
In the past, there were many ways to cause rain, and for the most part they were based on the principle of sympathetic magic. One of them is to pour water on the stones, pronouncing certain spells. Another, well-known in France, - throw flour in the stream and shake the water with a nut rod. Then the couples will be raised from the water and condensed into the rain clouds.
At one time it was very widespread belief that cutting or burning fern also rains, and in some regions the same thing was told about burning heather.
In England, there is a mountain lake Black Lake. On his shore carved a number of stone steps descending into the water. It is believed that a person who comes down on these steps as possible and splashes the water to soak the furthest stone, called the Red Altar, will certainly cause rain, and the rain will begin before the onset of twilight, even if the day is very hot.
Even in the nearby past, during the drought, the images of saints were often dipped into water - either as a magical ritual, or in punishment for the fact that they did not listen to the prayers of the people. For example, in France there was a custom to pray for the rain of St. Peter. If it did not help, the inhabitants carried the icon of the Holy River and, contrary to all the interests of the priests, immersed it into the water.
Custom This somewhere has been preserved until now. For example, in the Kaluga region during the droughst in the summer of 1982 in order to cause rain, older women took the grave cross from the cemetery and lowered it for six weeks in the river. After that, revenge it back to the cemetery.
In other areas, until recently, there was a custom to pour with a prolonged drought twelve water vest on the grave of an ardent or drowned one. It was believed that this would necessarily help.
Conspiracy against teacher
"The easiest way to cause rain, widespread among children is to kill the frog and flea. Then they are strung on the thread, hanging on a bush and sentenced: how these fleas and frogs hung, so let the clouds need to hang me "!" Another way to stick rain is to throw out water and tea from the mug into the fire. "
Back in the nineteenth century in Russia, they believed that drought could push witches. So, in 1893, a curious thing was considered in one of the county vessels. Rural Older Peter Dubnenko was accused of exceeding power, which was expressed in the fact that he was signed in the chain of the peasant, which he accepted for the witch.
And it was so. In the village of Novo-Vladimirovka, there was a procession and mulabaling on the cemetery of the rain. When the local resident of Alexander Lapushenkova came to kiss the cross, which was located near the kitten, Zamokal. The crowd immediately accepted Alexander for the witch and, since one of the believers should only be watched with water, so that it rained, the poor woman was plunged into the pond, then they were thrown into the pit, where they continued to get her water, and at the end of the headman himself helped to claim Her chain.
This case was considered in court for two years, and as a result, the court sentenced her old-year to imprisonment for two months!
Rainwater was collected to wash it, cook healing herbal decoction on it. Cooked in rainwater infusions helped to return youth and beauty. Water collected on August 2, in Ilyin day, eliminates the evil eye and damage. And the ascension assembled - has healing properties, but only if you catch drops into a clean vessel right from the sky. Collect water flowing with roofs or dripping from trees, no sense. Therefore, on the day of Ascension, they regularly exhibited the rain of the thais and pan. The collected water was poured into the bottles and believed that it would remain fresh forever.
"In folk medicine, rainwater was used with headaches, for the treatment of eye diseases and to remove warts, with endemic zob, chicken blindness. Warts of the characteristics were advised to be treated as follows: take a drop of rain from the third elevation from the third elevation and a sick place. ""
To see the rain in a dream foreshadows a rich harvest, and a businessman, on the contrary, losses and ruin.
In order to, on the contrary, to increase the sales of goods, the businessman will need a handful of mountain sand and rainwater collected after the night rain. Put the sand into the bowl and at midnight sit down at the table to accomplish the magic ritual. Slowly leut the rainwater on the sand and quickly pronounce the following words: "How fast this water goes into the sands, so let my product (the name of the goods) goes into hand."
"If the teacher often clings to you in the lessons, modern magicians are advised to spend the next uncomplicated rite. Collect rain water at a time when thunder thunder. Speech on this water: how thunder subsides, so you (name) feed! How thunder me (his name) does not touch, so you do not touch me! "
"It is best for this water to supply a teacher or misinterpress him in drinking. If it fails to do this, then just splash where it will sit and after him. Sprinkling, say: Thunder me (name) does not touch, and you (the teacher's name) do not touch me! "
Rainbow potion
If, during the rain, wash your face, moisten the head, lower back, the area of \u200b\u200bthe heart and hand brushes, then the water will wash the negative and help healing. According to psychics, water, recruited from 6 to 7 am, in addition to these properties, contributes to the involvement of good luck at work, gives new positive ideas.
From 7 to 8 - removes headaches and the consequences of nightmares.
From 8 to 9 - contributes to the emergence of additional mental energy.
From 9 to 10 - takes depression, sadness, longing, drive away vicious thoughts.
From 10 to 11 - gives energy to the heart, awakens the creative beginning.
From 11 to 12 - helps to overcome stress and fears, harmonizes the soul and body.

The so-called rainbow water has very strong magical properties. To get it, during the rain, wait when the rainbow appears. At this point, put any non-metallic container under the rain.
If you managed to gain rainwater during the rainbow, save it for use in rituals. It is consecrated by the presence of rainbow. Due to the fact that the rainbow contains all the colors, this potion is applicable for magic of all types. Pour it into a bottle and sign. Add to the bath or lubricate them the body and hands while visualizing the magical purpose.
If the person who needs to be awesome is a bird's houses, magicians are advised to act as follows. Collect some rainwater and put a spoon or two millet in it - depending on how much water is. Leave everything for a day. Then drain the water, get away. Take the water to the bird, but before you pour it into drinking, read the conspiracy: "Water-driver, Mother's Mushnik, I will not drink a bird, and my love. How many times it bows, take so much love. He will drink everything to the bottom - will love me to the end. "
If you are alone and can not find your soul mate, make another simple ritual, which practice modern magicians. Collect some rainwater into a cup or a jar. Water should get into the container naturally, "right from the sky".
Bring a vessel with water to the house. Reline several drops on every corner of your bed. Be careful, too much water can lead to unpredictable behavior from your future lover or beloved.
Take the remaining water in the vessel, sit down with her in the center of the bed and tell me: "I ask you through this fresh, sweet rain give me a person who will alleviate my pain of loneliness."
Summer showers, unlike protracted and durable autumn, are more often connected in our consciousness with a fun crop of the window glass, washed with greenery and water flows on the asphalt. The one who did not happen in childhood to slap on the puddles during a warm rain and step by bare heels to jump here and there bubbles, unequivocally missed something in his life ... Why, by the way, they appear? Let's find out. And at the same time we find out what the signs about bubbles on the puddles say.
Cause of bubbles
Searching this funny natural phenomenon during a drizzling rain is useless - in order for water to be launched under their feet, several variables should come together.
First, the size of the droplets. When one of them falls in the puddle, for a split second forming a small funnel, water is stretching out of the resulting pumpets. The edges are collapsed, capturing "captive" a small particle of air, and a bubble runs along the surface of the puddle. It is clear that the larger and harder the drop, the stronger it will hit the surface of the water - and therefore the bubbles will appear more.
For bubbles need a real shower
Secondly, the wind. Rather, his absence. While the drops fly from clouds vertically down, the strength of the blow of water increases, and bubbles are obtained by large and strong. But it is worth the wind to deflect the flight of a small projectile, as the drops begin to chirktow on the surface of the puddle and dissolve in it, no chance to raise the "wave" of the desired height.
Finally, atmospheric pressure. When it is raised, falling drops for a moment bounce off the puddles before dissolving in it, and instead of bubbles, splashes are obtained.
What are they denoted?
Surprisingly, folk signs can not agree on what means bubbles in the puddles. Some argue that this is a personal promise of the rainy rain: they say, now the sun will turn out and the sun looks. Others, on the contrary, are convinced that the bubble puddles are thrust out the lack of bad weather. Who is right?
Heavy rain usually does not last long
And those and others. On the one hand, large drops are usually falling out of cumulus clouds, which themselves are not too large. As usual and there are summer thunderstorms - flew, loosely, whipped bubbles in the puddles and stych.
On the other hand, a layered and rain-rained clouds followed by cumulative clouds. And here it is not necessary to count on the raid ending the bad weather: when starting, a quiet and small rain can pluck all day.
More often, the signs are advised to pay attention to the size of bubbles. What they are more and more, the longer the bad weather will last.
Signs about bubbles in puddles change and rarely give accurate predictions. But is it worth upset about this? As you know, "Nature has no bad weather." And in the rain it is so nice to sit by the window with a cup of hot tea and even remembered a little, looking at the buffets in the puddles.
Rain on the street? Did you want to go to the photo octo and changed your mind? Very in vain! Rain and rainy weather gives us, photographers, big space for creativity. Pictures in cloudy weather and rain pictures are beautiful and unusual.
It is very interesting to photograph rain because of a variety of colors, reflections, outlines and shadows, which are under the power to remove the novice photographer, and a professional.
But before you go outside with your precious chamber, you must prepare accordingly. Let's see how.
Preparation
1 - Before shooting, take care that you and photo equipment remain dry.
This and the hedgehog is clear, isn't it? It would be possible to think ... We saw photographers, removing under torrential rain and holding an umbrella in one hand, and in another chamber. I think that most of you understand that the camera and the lens so very quickly wet. Not to mention shooting with one hand, for example, with a heavy 70-200 mm! Do not hold the umbrella with your hands, it can be fixed somewhere. You need both hands to keep the camera. It is best to dress the raincoat and, maybe even rubber boots, if there is heavy rain. Cold and wet legs interfere with the photographer to be happy and it will be visible in your photos.
2 - protection equipment from rain
Before talking about how to keep the camera and lens dry during shooting, it is important to deliver them with dry from the point A to the point B (from the house to the place of shooting). Optimally have a waterproof or "for any weather" bag or backpack. Never underestimate the power of mother nature. What is 2000 - 5000 rubles per bag or backpack, if you can protect your really expensive photo equipment.
3 - Keep the camera and lens dry
We are dealing with electronic equipment, and water does not affect it. Checked ;-) There are many solutions how to protect the equipment. These solutions depend on your personal and financial situation. Many options.
1. Do not go under the rain, stay undercover. If the rain only snaps up, you can, like a cover, use even a tree. Remove from the car, from under the arches, entrances, from the window of your house or cafe.
2. Buy protection from rain for the camera and lens. There are thousands of options for camera covers in the market. Very good protection offers Kata firm.
3. Make protection with your own hands. Take a plastic bag or garbage bag, buy gum and make them a package.
4. Buy cheap waterproof pants, entering one pant of gum and use it as chamber protection and lens.
5. Attach the umbrella to the tripod. Options for homemade fixtures are very much - here are some of them.
Lack of umbrellas - they take them by the wind.
6. Condom, better than the size of XL. It sounds more than strange ;-)), but this advice works. The condom keeps the form and does not allow equipment to wet.
7. Grocery foil, closed with adhesive tapeetc.
4 - Lens Change
If you need to change the lens during the rain, make sure that the camera and the lens remain dry. Or leave from the rain under the cover, or change it under the rainier or other cover, tilting the camera down, to the ground.
5 - Use blend for lens and filter
Blend has many applications. It is used when shooting in the sun, protects the lens from shocks and glass from scratches. She helps to protect against rain droplets. Do not forget to attach a light filter on the lens (UV or protective or other). It is much easier to clean the filter, not the lens.

A rainy day means that there are clouds in the sky. This means that the sun is not visible in the sky, which means little light. Those. You will have to shoot at enough long excerpts. In order for the pictures to be sharp, you will need a tripod.

If you are removed in cold weather, we advise you to keep batteries or batteries chambers closer to the body, warm. Insert them into the chamber immediately before shooting. When the temperature decreases, the efficiency of nutrition elements falls.

Settings
1. We recommend novice photographers first to try to shoot immediately after the rain. City landscape at such moments looks deserted and clean. Try to focus on the subjects of the shooting, select the appropriate angle and shooting mode. In principle, you can try to take pictures and during the rain and see what you will succeed. As a rule, rain photos are obtained from beginners blurred and not clear. To get sharp pictures, you need to know several tricks. To increase the sharpness of the image, you must correctly select the shutter speed.
2. To transmit the movement of water, remove with excerpts of about 1/60. If you want to freeze the movement, excerpts should be short.
3. Transfer the rain in the pictures is quite difficult. Water jets are poorly distinguishable in cloudy weather. If during the rain, the rain of the sun will take, remove against the light, then the drops are sprinkled. To turn the drops into the jet, you need to reduce the diaphragm and increase the shutter speed. Then the falling droplets of water will turn into a picture in the rain strips, which will be the longer than longer excerpt.
4. Use the macro mode is an interesting way to get wonderful pictures after the rain. If you want to remove the leaves or blades covered with rain droplets, you can not do without macros. Do not forget to blur the background so that the chief hero of your picture was the selected item and its details.
5. The use of long-focus optics will improve the picture quality.

Advice
1. Remove the wet surfaces. On the rain, they become more saturated, the colors will be deep and intense.
2. If you look around yourself when it rains, the most common things will look different and unusual. Try to notice people around you. Sometimes they hurry, sometimes enjoy the rain (for example, in the summer). Rain transforms people. Remove emotions. Great passersby and joyful children. Catch real emotions and you will get great photos!
3. Do not forget about the composition. Look for interesting composite solutions. For example, people close to windows with rain drops from them, passersby near the pomp water and reflection of them in water, etc.
4. Look for reflections. Water becomes a mirror. Find moments when the rain converts every scene into something interesting, mysterious, sparkling reflections. Do not hurry, look for the right angle in which you can get beautiful reflections. In the city, even ordinary buildings and their environment can turn into beautiful abstract images reflected in the water. It is interesting to look at lights reflected in the water in the evening. In this case, try to remove from the bottom, almost from the ground.
5. When it rains on the streets, as a rule, fewer people. During the rain, you can remove interesting places in which it is usually full of people. The lively urban street can be almost empty on a rainy day. Landscapes, which, as a rule, filled with people will look completely different without people. It can take a picture more dramatic.
6. If you are lucky, you can remove the landscape with lightning. There is a whole technique for shooting lightning and storms (we were described in our magazine). You can remove the zipper or their reflection in the water on Earth. It creates a very interesting effect.
7. In rainy weather you can get excellent monochrome pictures. Photos may look more impressive and dramatic if they are translated into the ChB.
8. When shooting on a cloudy day, lighting gray and little contrast. You can take pictures interesting, placing a bright detail on the foreflaot - a bright bench, a bright detail of clothes, an umbrella, etc.
9. Catch moments before starting the rain or at the end. A part of the landscape will be closed by clouds, maybe somewhere close to rain. The other part is still lit by the sun. You can get impressive pictures.
10. Include in the frame of the umbrella (more precisely in its upper edges), especially if you take off the wide-angle lens. Remove people around you with umbrellas. The umbrella can serve you another good service. Rain clouds - light source for rainy landscape. Those. The clouds are bright, and all that is at the bottom - dark. Use an umbrella to close too light clouds and the exposure of your frame will be better.
11. Highlight rain. It becomes more noticeable if it is highlighted. The light passing through the raindrops is brighter than everything else around. Find light sources (street lamps, breaking through the clouds of the sun, etc.) and remove in their direction. Rain drops will be better visible. Try not to light the frame. Umbrella, by the way, can serve you for Blend.
12. Try using flash and slightly highlight drops. But only really a little. This is a small secret with which you need to experiment, snapshots may not work, but if you come out, then your frames will become magical.
13. Wildlife looks very interesting in the rain. Animals, especially birds, will not be so active as in dry weather. Look for birds sitting on the trees, on the wires, at the fences. Many animals will still be in motion, but will move slower and calmer.
Rain is a shower for nature. Everything becomes clean, and the colors are more saturated. Leaves of trees Greater, the bark is darker. Even the grass color will be brighter.
Shooting in rainy weather is a difficult task, but if you take steps to protect yourself and camera from rain and prepare for shooting, everything else will seem not so difficult. Be patient, watch and you will receive as a reward. These pictures are:
