If it is not a bright sunny day for photography how many times have you heard people say I didn’t bother going out with the camera because the light was bad?
What a poor excuse, overcast days, rainy days and even bright sunny days with no clouds in the sky can be conducive to stunning images.
A grey day with low lying mist can be used to emphasize the subject in the image or add layers, which helps to add depth to the image.

Overcast days produce a flat balanced soft light it is the favoured light for photographers due to the richer colours produced. I t gives the image a more natural look.
Get out with the camera when the storm clouds are in the sky as these help to add mood and tension to the image. Also notice the colours, they have become much richer.

On a bright sunny summer’s day when there are no clouds in the sky, get the camera out. Yes I know everybody says not to photograph in the middle of the day because of the harsh light, but these can make for fantastic black and white images.
Try experimenting using a long exposure and see what results you get.
