Rainy Day Photos

The trees here in Michigan are starting to turn their beautiful autumn colors. I try to head up north for a weekend every fall to shoot the changing leaves but every year it seems to rain that weekend. It does not mean that you can’t create some great photos. If the sky is a dull gray then don’t include it in your photo. You need to just be open minded and let nature guide you. Photograph in a forest that covers the sky. Find a stream that you can do some long exposures since it is darker on a cloudy day. If it is raining get some photos of drips on a leaf. If you go on a trip with preconceived photos in mind and it does not work out you will go home disappointed, but if you are open minded and shoot what nature gives you then you will go home with some great photos and joy in your heart.
