Moody Xiaomi Presets for Rainy Days and Cloudy Skies

Rain makes great photos if you lean into the mood. Xiaomi presets tailored for drizzle accentuate reflections, deepen blues, and keep clouds sculpted.

The moody recipe

• cool-toned shadows with a hint of cyan
• lifted blacks so puddles hold detail
• selective contrast that makes umbrellas and jackets stand out

Presets to try

• Fog Runner – Pushes clarity down, adds blue split-toning, and leaves highlights muted.
• Window Scribe – Boosts texture on glass surfaces so raindrops stay crisp.
• Storm Glow – Warms skin slightly while letting the background stay cold, ideal for portraits in the rain.

Shooting tricks

1. Hunt for reflections: crouch low so puddles mirror neon lights, then let the preset exaggerate the contrast.
2. Use umbrellas or buses as moving leading lines; dramatic presets amplify those streaks of color.
3. Keep a microfiber cloth handy. Clean lens = less haze, meaning the preset doesn’t need to fight smudges.

Let the weather set the mood, then let the preset do the storytelling.
