Photographing Tuscany in the rain

I spent a few days in Italy last week photographing a villa for a client. The weather was quiet poor while I was there and the time spent waiting for the rain to clear provided plenty of opportunity to plan shots with strong compositions and narrative. It’s amazing what you can do with a short period of good weather providing you are happy to set up shots, mark camera positions and push patio furniture around in the rain. The ability to take good twilight photographs also helps in these tricky situations.
