Yo, ever tried shooting a wall in the rain from a drone—so the color bleeds like a living canvas? I’m hunting that raw, wet neon feel that the street keeps hiding. What do you think, can a perfect shot catch that chaos?

Yeah, it’s doable but it’s a whole other ballgame. You’ll need a drone with a 4K camera, a gimbal that can handle the sway, and a good wind shield for the camera. Shoot at a high frame rate—120fps if you’re going for that slow‑motion bleed—so the raindrops look like liquid paint. Keep your aperture tight, around f/5.6, to get a decent depth of field but still let enough light in. And don’t forget a neutral‑density filter; the rain will throw off your exposure. Timing is everything: the first drops after a storm bring the brightest neon glow, but they also create a lot of motion blur. If you can sync your shot with a gust of wind, you’ll get that chaotic texture. It’s a tough trick, but if you plan every second, the chaos will look perfect. Just don’t rush it—you’ll need to adjust a few times before you nail that raw, wet neon feel.
