Shooting under the rain

Has anyone shoots under the rain?

Most folks shoot under the rain, it's pretty hard to shoot over the rain unless you are flying...

What specifically are you looking for about shooting in the rain?

I shoot out in the rain all the time, including yesterday with 40 mph winds and about 1" of rain during the day. With a downpour like that I put raincovers on my camera and lens, it's a pain and more difficult to get shots, but it's better than getting no shots or losing equipment. If it's just a light drizzle, since I shoot with top level gear that's sealed, I don't worry much about things getting wet.
It's also important to keep yourself warm and dry. I wear Gortex or Omnitech from head to toe.

I have tried one rain shoot, it turned out pretty bad but I'm sure with more experience I will get better Images

I just want to shoot in the rain for fun to get some experiences. I'm worry the rain will kill my camera. I'll try rain cover just for the heck of it.

petto, I use some covers I got from Penn Camera called the PhotoFax. Looking at their website, they are part of Calumet Camera as of last month, I don't see those particular covers listed any more.

Tenba makes an affordable rain cover... Tenba RC26 Rain Cover

If you are shooting with a Canon DSLR they have one that includes attachable eye pieces... Canon ERC-E4S Rain Cover for EOS Cameras
