When dark, stormy clouds fill the sky, it creates a striking skyline, which produces a nice contrast between the light & shadows falling on the flora and fauna. Overcast skies create unique tonal qualities, as the diffused light enhances the colors that blanket the landscape. The hues of greens, yellows, and reds, for example, shift, slightly, and take on a greater brilliance. And foreground objects tend to appear as though they have more texture and clarity.

As someone who regrets having spent too much time indoors, over the years, consider taking my advice: jump at chances to see how the changes in seemingly less than ideal weather conditions can create unique photographic opportunities. Let's discover this side of the outdoor life!
