Is it necessary to pull out your camera only when the sun is shining bright? Even shady weather has its appeal. So you should go on a photo tour on a day when there are dark clouds and stormy winds. In case you have a DSLR, you should think in advance about which lens you want to use. This is because changing the lens outdoors when the weather is bad is dangerous to the extent that the sensitive insides of the camera can get damp and dirty. So, put on your raincoat, protect your camera well and get going!
You can find dozens of dramatic and sensational subjects for photography in harsh weather—particularly just after a downpour, the sun popping through the clouds gives rise to breathtakingly dense and evocative light conditions. The moisture on flowers, grass, bushes and fields intensifies their colors—you can strengthen this impression even more using a polarization filter. But don’t forget the sky after looking at this colorful performance. Heavy, gray towers of clouds often create an imposing atmosphere. Capture as much as of this beauty as possible with your camera. This implies: take a photo from a lower angle; you can even lie down so as to make the most of it. The advantage of this extreme perspective is that you can capture blades of grass or ears of corn in the foreground so that they appear very large and thus get photos from unusual angles.
