Who says you need sunny days for photos?
Clouds can look great.
And rain can look great too. Pack that camera on dull days.

Photographing architecture...Sunset Community Centre
Photographing architecture at twilight not only looks great
but it solves the problem of too much contrast. If I had taken
these photos earlier in the day the contrast between outside
and inside light would be too great. Just wait until after sunset
about half an hour. Don't leave too early. You want the sky
to be fairly dark but not black. Of course, you need a tripod.

Photographing movement
It's fun to move the camera by turning or
zooming on a field of colourful flowers.
Set a slow speed like 1/2 or 1 second and
move away...zoom, turn, go up, go down...have fun.
You may have to push that little
+/- button(exposure compensation) to minus 1
or so to make the photo a bit darker.
