What are some tips on doing night photography before / during / after rain? I'm looking for unique creative possibilities or a unique look in the resulting photos as compared to doing night photography on days / nights without rain.
Ideally, these would not require me to travel to a specific place, but would be accessible in a city. Things like the sky, a garden, railway tracks, etc. Not the top of a mountain, say :)
There are a couple of questions that ask about photographing during rain, but not specifically at night, which I'm interested in.
Am I correct that I shouldn't let rain or spray fall on the glass of the lens, because it might damage the coating or leak in? I don't have weather-sealed lenses / camera. This would limit me to places like my balcony or similar places where I have shelter.
