I was shooting a bike polo championship game that was held during some of the most TORRENTIAL rains I have ever experienced and had to resort to using that trick. The catch- It showed no sign of rain before it started downpouring (I had failed to check the weather) and I had to attempt to hold my 50D with an umbrella on a monopod with a 70-200f/2.8 on it, and it was soooo difficult balancing it!
I am currently devising a way to rig the umbrella to my camera backpack, as I am planning on carrying my lenses in my water resistant messenger bag.
Thanks for the great advice guys!
BKPhotography- Tell me about it! I have been aching to shoot ANYTHING portrait-wise at that site, and when the bride suggested it I responded with a resounding \"Yes!\"
Notlisy- I wish I could find someone willing to accompany me there, but it is a reschedule already, and due to some circumstances beyond our control (The bride has a blog and it won a contest through MSP Magazine to be the featured \"Bride Blogger\" of the year, she needs the photos ASAP) I am unable to find anyone to assist in such short notice.
Keep your eyes peeled for my dreary/rainy E-Shoot coming soon (Tomorrow), and thanks again for the good suggestions and ideas!
