You have an awesome template . Where did you find it? I must say, that I could not agree with you in 100%, but that’s just my IMHO, which could be wrong.

I don't really think there is such thing as "bag weather". In photography, at least, there is only good weather. Heh… I don’t really think there is such thing as “bag weather”.

While I'm up early to catch a sunrise or wit for the sunset, I put away my camera if the weather turns nasty. This post inspires me to think twice about that and look for that unique light possibility under those conditions. Thanks much! Great Advice!

Having lived in Alaska I'm all too familiar with bad weather. The point of the post is to introduce the point that bad weather can provide excellent photographic opportunities. @Rudolf My post and photos were not to define what bad weather is.

Whitney photo is pre-dawn. See my podcast "<a href="http://www.jmg-galleries.com/blog/2007/01/07/exif-and-beyond-mobius-arch-episode-2/" rel="nofollow">Mobius Arch</a>" which discusses this shot and the circumstances around it. @Gary Thanks and I can assure you the Mt.

The golden gate bridge may be covered in fog, but above you have blue sky and beautiful light ... hence the nice colors. Same thing holds for the tree picture and the yosemite picture: I see nice colorful light patches, so the sun must be breakign through somewhere. The remaining photos even show big patches of blue sky ... I suppose when many photographers say "bad weather" they have all overcast sky or even pouring rain in mind, where everything looks washed out and dull and where points further away from the camera disappear into white haze. Of course you could do portrait work in these conditions, but that's not always the point of going to a nice place.

Just a nit: The photo of Mt. Whitney is definitely not "pre-dawn" unless you illuminated the arch a la Michael Fatali. Best, Gary Good article, great photos. Just a nit: The photo of Mt.

Some of my best photos have been taken during not so perfect weather. I love what it does to the light and shadows in the scene I'm trying to capture. Some of the best photos from great photographers I've seen were taken during inclement weather. Great advice, and something I discovered a long time ago.

Don't be fooled no matter where your location great photographs are possible even with flat neutral gray weather. If you are faced with flat neutral gray weather than look for less obvious subjects that benefit from that type of lighting until conditions change. Here are a few sites that I recommend looking at for inspiration: http://wildphoto.smugmug.com/ http://www.transientlight.co.uk/a_frame.php?nav=1&snID=700 http://www.tonyhowell.co.uk/ Note: a couple photographers from the UK and Scotland for those in the area that think no great photographic opportunities await you.
