The easiest weather to ignore as a photographer, but many surprises and opportunities await. Long shutter speeds can create new ways of depicting rain, and rain on different surfaces creates patterns and interactions. Rain on glass acts as a natural filter that obscures and shapes the scene beyond. And rain creates scenes amongst those being drenched - people running for shelter, umbrellas unfurled and hidden under, and dogs shaking off their wet coats.
This Premium Contest is worth 1.5x the standard points towards your Leaderboard ranking. It’s Expert-judged AND crowd-rated, with your score from each combined. Find out more about ranking points here. Our Experts are some of the world’s finest photographers, who select the best images, and provide valuable feedback to help you improve.
Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.
Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
