Love this because I feel like I'm getting wet with a view from the road - unique!

How did you take this shot? Did you end up getting soaked up? Did your camera still function after that?

Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico, during the rainy season.Time
I took this photo in the early afternoon. I was walking downtown when the storm broke. I was in front of a bar, so I took shelter inside. When I saw the power of the rain, I put on my raincoat, grabbed my Gopro and went out to take this picture in the middle of the street.Lighting
As my raincoat was very light, I didn't have much time to study how I was going to take this photo, I just knew that I wanted to give priority to the shutter speed so I could capture the drops as best I could. As the Gopro has a touch screen, I couldn't look at the photos I'd taken while I was in the rain either, so I took a burst and went back inside.Equipment
I used a Gopro Hero 7, there was too much rain to use something else.Inspiration
I took several picture of that very same street because of its perspective, but the rain and the man with the umbrella make it special.Editing
I turned it in B&W and cropped it a bit.In my camera bag
Usually, I have a FZ300, a Gopro and an Instamax.Feedback
Don't be afraid to get drenched!
