As a photographer, no matter how much you try, you can’t control the weather.  Cloudy or rainy days are definitely a pain to shoot in, but the cloud cover does provide soft lighting without the harshness of bright sun and sharp shadows, so what do we do?  We want to get the shot, but we don’t want to soak our expensive SLR in the downpour….surely there must be a better way…besides buying a 1D series Canon or a Nikon D4, since those cost nearly $8000.  Well, despair no more, because the solution costs less than $1 and if you are traveling, it’s free…

Yes ladies and gentlemen, a simple shower cap that is available at all hotels absolutely free is enough to let you get all your shooting done without exposing your camera to direct rain and possibly frying your electronics.
