Waterfalls
I love waterfalls, especially when I can get the water to look silky smooth. There’s a trick to that. You have to shoot very slow, like 1/8 of a second. So you need to adjust the ISO and the aperture to reduce the light of a normal exposure. Or you can use a neutral density filter (if you happen to have one with you). Regardless, the biggest issue is going to be steadiness. The camera must be absolutely still at 1/8 of a second. Try doing that handheld in the rain. Not possible. You have to find a rock-solid spot or use a tripod. Then, have fun!
