You guys are a bunch of wimps for not going out on a rainy day ( )...that's when some of the best photos can be made. If it's pouring, that's another story. Carry an umbrella, plastic bag or hide it under your jacket if you're scared of your camera getting wet. A sunny day can be the worst for photos. I'll go out if it's cloudy or raining, but not if it's super sunny.

^ I will take advice from the pro

If it's a light mist I'll be fine with it - if it's raining like mad then it will be a no go

I've never had a problem with parking at Granville Island if I get there right when it opens. Sennas right about the weather though, if you guys wait till its totally sunny, you guys won't be shooting till spring!

Granville island is not a good place to go shoot if it's a sunny day. I think it's more interesting if it's cloudy or rainy.

I'd like to get my self a pro storm jacket, but those things are like $50USD plus $20 shipping! yikes!

I'd have to see how bad the rain is.

Granville Island is definitely a cloudy day place to shoot. The neutral light really brings out the contrast of colours around the place.

$50 for a storm jacket is cheap, and I dont think it'll be very good. I have a $50 Viking from army and navy and a $300 montane one. At first when i bought the montane i was kicking myself for spending $300 on a piece of cloth that is so thin that it looks like it'll tear, but it wasn't until i used it in field that it justified the hefty price 10x over.

The $50 is good for 2 hours in the rain, anymore it either soaks through or your body heat condenses and the inside starts dripping with your sweat.

The $300 has NEVER gotten me wet and i've stood in the pouring rain for 14 hours straight when i worked in film. Although paper thing, the material keeps you exptremely warm without condensing sweat as it's very breathable. It's incredible how waterproof and breathable the material is. It's called E-vent, its Montane's version of hyvent (north face) or goretex, but better.

So all in all if you want something to keep you dry while out in light rain for an hour or so 1 day outta the year, buy a $50 one as it's sufficient and you can throw it away if it gets ripped or something. But if you want something that will last you forever in waterproofing ability and will keep you dry in teh rain days on end, spend the big bucks for a high end one because you'll totally thank yourself when you go home after a 10 hour trek through the raining forest on a photo excersion.

no, no

storm jacket is a little cover for your camera. Its not a jacket for yourself. http://www.vortexmedia.com/SJ1.html

I have a north face jacket for rainy conditions. But my camera in naked.

Apparently the new olympic streetcar is now in service, perhaps our trip on the weekend can let us have an oppurtunity to take a ride and/or take pics of it?

I've actually never done a photowalk - what do you guys generally bring other than your lenses and body(s)? Would bringing a small collapsable tripod be a bit overboard?

I've never done a photowalk either, but i would bring a camera body, a lens or two if you have it, and a tripod. Seems pretty normal to do.

you shouldn't need a tripod since we'll be shooting in the early morning/afternoon. I'll bring my gorillapod if anyone wants to use it.
