Oh there he goes again. Making cryptic statements and leaving us wondering what the blazes he’s talking about.

Tease.

Oh tell me about it Tam… I know that experience exactly. But yeah, generally the lighting’s very good for snapping pics. Seems more natural somehow.

But it was definitely a grey day… in more ways than one!

By looking at the photos you’ve posted, I wouldn’t have thought it a grey day, slightly overcast perhaps (hmm, maybe that’s what you meant).

I like to shoot on overcast and grey days. The colours seem richer(to me). Of course, days like that, I tend to have lighting issues. I usually end up with 75 or so photos that are complete crap and 25 that are decent.

Not so much enthusiasm as sheer bloody-mindedness.

Now that is so strange as I like grey days for shooting. Not that we’ve had any of late (must wait for fall and winter for that).

I find the uniform nature of the light to be handy for certain types of photographs.

But maybe it’s just that I have a grey personality.

Regardless, I think it’s wonderful that you didn’t let the grey day dampen your enthusiasm!
