Sports photography tip: Always check the weather beforehand

What will the weather be like today? We ask ourselves that question quite often. If you are going to take photos, it is important to know what the weather will be like before you go to a match. If it gets very cold, your batteries will run out faster.
You need to be prepared for that. If it starts to rain, you can put a 'raincoat' on your camera and lens. It may not work optimally, but your camera will be well protected.
If it gets very sunny and hot, remember that you will be sitting in the bright sun for hours. Make sure you apply plenty of sun cream and perhaps wear a cap.
You cannot control the weather, but you can control how well prepared you are for it.

A while ago the weather was beautiful and I was sure it would stay dry.
Translated from Dutch.
After photographing for a while it suddenly started raining heavily and so, my camera was soaking wet. I could have cried but thought well the camera can handle it but my lens?..... well quickly put everything away and placed it on a bag of rice. Fortunately it all turned out well and no water got into the camera or lens. So you see, always be well or in my case even better prepared for bad weather.
