I have never been paid and can not afford Photography School, what I tend to do is volunteer in exchange for rights to use the photos in my portfolio (which is not yet done). This morning I was invited to a funeral to take photos. (its not a funeral for one person particularly its a memorial for those lost to addiction, for example Jane and John Doe) they offered to pay me and feed me for lees than an hour service.
BUT this morning the weather channel had alerts for my region of severe thunder storms, so I called to cancel since its an outdoor event. AND wouldnt you know it not a single drop of rain falls from the sky. Now Im not feeling very pleased with my decision this morning to cancel.
What is your approach to expensive gear and weather warnings.

I guess I could just hold an umbrella with one hand and shoot my camera with auto in the other hand. Lesson learned. Seems pretty simple now but dark grey clouds and trees blowing over in the wind ... it did look like a storm any minute kind of thing, now I feel a little silly tho, just looking for some reassurance it wont happen next time.
