What to shoot on overcast days





On cloudy or overcast days good subjects
are waterfalls and forests. On a sunny day
the water on the waterfall would be burned
out by the bright sun and the rocks would be
too dark. Similarly, the shadows would be
dark in the forest and there would be pockets
of burned out highlights from the bright sun.
So go for a hike on a cloudy day and shoot
a lot in the woods.
