I've always loved shooting on overcast days, so much so that I have a specific 'grey days' series I'm always adding to - and in colour too

I always try to potograph something whatever the weather/light/time of day etc and also like to break rules. If I find the weather dampens my inspiration, my workaround is to look for little things that might be missed normally. A patch of peeling paint, a reflection in a shop window, something uninteresting that could be made interesting. Anything that makes this hobby fun.

Mono photography is great when the light won't co-operate. Good to see André Kertész get a mention. I studied the work of André Kertész whilst at college. He greatly influenced Cartier-Bresson, Brassai and Capa. Well worth searching out his work online. One of my favourite photographers.

Thanks! A couple tips here I didn't know about. I actually prefer to shoot on cloudy days because usually the heat gets to be too much in the full sun.

Just when I think I’m starting to get it, you present this wonderful video and make me realise how (very!) far I’ve got to go! I live in a semi rural area, I take my camera everywhere, but I really struggle, especially on a flat dull day as the contrast is severely lacking, often leaving a really dull flat one dimensional image … I will, however persevere!! Thanks for the inspiration 😊 📷

Thank you for those wonderful tips! Especially "search for the whites" and "shooting towards the sky from a low angle" sound very promising! Best wishes, Gert

Found your videos the other day. Had a bit of a light bulb moment watching the Street still life video. That cheered me up so much that your book arrived today. Looking forward to more of your work.

I tend to be contrary on this topic. A gray day is ideal, in my opinion, because the clouds act as soft boxes that diffuse the light. It is the maker's job to take the image made on days like this and shape/paint the light in post processing. It is a lot harder to manage an image in post that is already punchy with bright highlights and dark shadows.

The contrast of colour can be very effective on a dull day but I love you B&W's

Excellent tips. So glad you included shoot ‘ Dark to light ‘. I first learned that technique about 20 years ago from the late great Monte Zucker. Seek the dark side. This will help you to stand out from the tons of ordinary photographers.

Thanks, great video. I have to admit I love blue sky street photos so this video was very inspiring for winter grey days in London. I can't wait to get out and shoot now!

I really enjoy your videos Rupert but I must say, a grey and dreary day is my favorite. I much prefer it to a bright sunny day.

Great video as always. I always thought about the gray skies in the UK, and wondered why it's like that most of the year. It reminds me of Washington state, it's gray most of the year.

My top tip is get some good waterproof clothing and get out in the worst weather. People struggling in the wind and rain with their uncooperative umbrellas seem to lower their masks.

I prefer sunnier weather but I dont mind more cloudy providing the sky is not not totally featureless. However I much prefer being out and about than being at home and processing images. During rainy July I managed to catch up on my image processing. Even that is more preferable that housework. Hmmmm.- I guess I should catch up on that now

Have you seen the work of Ernesto Bazan? I don't see him mentioned that often and I believe you would probably like his work. He's most well known for his work in Cuba, and the book with the same title. Al Campo (color work) and Isla (xpan b/w) are amazing as well. A mix of street/documentary work, but all of them long-term projects.

Winter in Australia is generally better than summer in England, but mostly I will take anything but rain. I don't mind rain for me or my camera, but some of my lenses might be a bit suspect. Yesterday, I was out with a TS-E 24 on my camera, wanting to do a timelapse or two, with some locations in mind. I found Perth distressingly short of people, the aftermath of C I expect, but eventually I found a place with interesting structure and a few people, and a break in the rain. I'm not optimistic with the results though, for a timelapse, but perhaps I can do something weird. I normally shoot almost everything for black and white, bright sunlight or dull overcast.
