Do you have a problem shooting in the cold/wet weather?

I know it's not cold and wet right now.  But in general, during winter months do you stay in when weather get's a little cold and wet?  

I attended a in person photographers Meetup yesterday, and one of the topics that came up was shooting out in wet and cold weather.  Personally I don't mind it, but apparently, most of the people in yesterdays meeting were.  I thought most would be all OK with getting out for the shot.  Regardless of weather.  Well within reason of course.  

How much rain are we talking about here? If a little drizzle, yeah I'm OK with that.  Full on down pour, I'll stay inside with Netflix.  

Life and the whole world go on in bad weather and a simple
plastic covering everything will give you pictures that can't
be experience on a couch. Sorry Pat!

Not being a commercial photographer etc. I can afford to pick and choose a bit
The 'however' is the basic question - am I able to return here in better weather? -&/or- if I -do- go out today, will I get images different from the same-old / same-old that one gets on sunny days?

As to NS's response re- a plastic bag, yes I have used one years ago when in a desperate situation, but it is not something that I would otherwise enjoy

Me neither. I was too reluctant to get a pro cover as I thought it was too
expensive for the number of times it is used.

You know what? I got myself three of those — S, M, and L, — and when,
things are getting ugly, I don't back down systematically. Rain, sand, dust,
and snow are not so much of a challenge anymore.

Makes no difference to me.  If I'm feeling it, I'll go out regardless of the weather.  

I prefer heading out in the cooler weather vs warm heat.  When it's cold you can add layers to get warm.  When it's warm, you can do only so much to get comfortable.  

Not at all if I have a shot in mind that I'm after.  It's not preferred, but I'll do it.

Like a light drizzle or snow fall?

Cold weather??? - for us Aussies ~ if I have to put long daks on + a jumper over my shorts & t-shirt, that's cold enough.  Snow and stuff like that .......................... geez mate - you can keep it up your way

I just bought and received a rain coat for my camera. I have yet to actually try it out in a rain storm, but it looks to be quite well made. There are sleeves on both sides with draw strings to minimize the space around your wrists while reaching in to make adjustments, and they slope downward by design to keep the rain out when your hands aren't in them. The bottom center section has a left to right sleeve to sleeve double zipper across it, so it's easy to pull it over the camera while the camera is still attached to a tripod, The bottom double zipper can then be zipped up to as far as possible from both sides, with the tripod protruding through the remaining center unzipped part . A lens sleeve on the front lets you use about any lens up to 5-6" diameter and 9-10" long measured from camera face to lens hood, so on shorter lenses, it forms a kind-of fabric bellows to allow zooming. This sleeve has a dry but sticky rubber (like maybe silicone rubber) liner strip at the end to grip tightly to the lens barrel, and a Velcro cinch strap to be able to tighten this opening up around the lens. The whole back and top of this rain coat is clear, but flexible plastic, so you can easily see the whole back and top of the camera through it, and the inside space for the camera is huge. A Canon 1DX III would not be a tight fit. My 77D with the dual battery grip, Wireless Mic receiver, and audio mixer. don't come close to filling the inside space. 

This camera raincoat is made by Altura and sold by Amazon for about $20.

Again, I haven't actually used this camera rain coat yet, but it's a great comfort for me to have tried it on my cameras to be assured that will fit any of my cameras and lenses, and it will be waiting in my camera bag to use, if the occasion ever arises.

If I'm properly dressed, I would have no problem with going out in the rain or snow

G'day Charley

A most useful post - thanks for the info & image/s

Honestly, I prefer cold weather!

For the most part, no.  If we are talking hurricane downpour, yes, I'll stay in.
