When the Weather is not as Expected
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010Ever gone on a trip especially one with photography in mind where the weather didn’t happen as you have expected? This is exactly what happen to me on one of my last trips. I was expecting low temperature and a couple showers, but didn’t expect that much fog! Basically the great scenery that I was expecting didn’t happen.
Well the point is, that in this condition there is no reason to be down and stop taking lots of photos. In fact, these kind of situations are perfect situations where we can explore our creativity. Remember that with proper compositions there are millions of ways to create special photos out of ordinary scenes.
In my case, it was obvious that the fog would eliminate possibilities to take landscape scenery shots as long as its there. Therefore what I do is focus on nearer objects and use the foggy environment itself to create the shots. I’ll have to admit though, that I’m quite fond of vignettes and darker tone photos. On the other hand, indoor objects when possible always offer great opportunities for your winner shot.
And one last important thing: don’t forget to enjoy the trip and have fun!
Here’s a couple of the photos that I have taken on the trip.
