Weather As A Photography Factor

[Photo-John]

Sometimes getting the shot involves more than just being there with your gear and using good technique. Here are some photos from a cyclocross I race I shot this weekend. The other photographer is member, Chris350. To see more photos from the race, check out the Cyclocross Obsession thread in the Sports Photography Forum.

Ha! Looks brutal. Way to get at it!
I could have shot 'cross in sleet yesterday and decided not to. Maybe if I had gotten the sealed kit I might have run out of excuses.

I'm wondering if you, or someone/where else would be a good resource on just how tolerant our cameras are to various conditions, i.e. a camera with no weather sealing like the good ole d40 will survive ______, some weather sealing such as the d7000 will allow_______ and so forth.

I shot in a thunderstorm with a Canon 20D without sealed equiment.
Just a bin-liner and gaffer tape.

No way. I don't get paid enough to shoot in inclement weather. More power to those of you that do!

Where I live if you don't shoot in inclement weather you limited as it starts raining in late September or early October and does not end until late May or early June

Current conditions is gray sky and and no liquid sunshine.
