Shooting in the rain allows for experimentation, ISO would be 400 to 800 (1600 is were you get grain less you have a Nikon Camera ie a D3 i think) shutter speeds can be slow or fast it depends on the desired effects. Aperture would be around F/4 to F5.6 however at the end of the day its your photo and we all could shoot the exact same scene but each image would be different in its own fashion Since I wrote my last comment here alot has changed, I now work in the photography industry and work more with model and fashion photography however love to get out side of this and deal with the "elements of nature" Regards Brett Robson http://www.flickr.com/brettrobsonphotography Blur will come if your using long shutter speeds, ie anything below 60th sec …if you keep your ISO below 800 then you shoud not introduce grain to the image

In darker conditions, consider increasing the ISO setting. You risk blur with camera shake when using long lenses in dark conditions and although you will introduce noise with higher ISO values, sharpness is always the first concern. Thanks for the tips!
