# Other Capture Considerations

**Environmental and weather factors**

Depending upon the environment you’re capturing and how the weather is there are a few key notes:&#x20;

* It is not recommended to capture in the rain as water droplets on the lens will degrade performance.
* Wet and shiny surfaces won’t reconstruct well. Be prepared for mirrored areas, pools of standing water, and glassy objects to be deformed in the final model&#x20;
* Clean featureless areas, such as painted walls, may also be deformed or not get reconstructed in the final model.
* Dense vegetation, such as grasses and tree branches, will be poorly reconstructed in the model if there is much wind&#x20;
* When capturing dark areas, better results will be obtained by fitting a wide beam or 360 LED light to the camera.
