It happened to me in my second challenge but I think it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I scored a lot higher than my first challenge. I'm planning on doing my next challenge photograph on Sunday and the weather forecast isnt great but I'm staying positive.
Brub, indeed... all week!... ALL WEEK! ARG! and i'm going to the Indy race this weekend... oh well, at least i got VIP seats.
Thanks Clara, you are so right! I'm just so not equiped for this kind of shots, and i am dead scared of a single drop of water on my camera... ah man this is gonna be hard...
Thanks for the encouragement tho guys... was planning this for my second challenge application... i'll take all the luck i can get!
Heida's shots are all dreary and grey with vivid colors in the costumes or clothing or sunset, and she always places very well because it's beautiful to see nature at that stage... use the dark, dreary sky to your advantage... like the "nothing" has taken over your "fantasia" and just capture what you can! :)
I took part in a local 24-hour shooting challenge last week and the weather bit all day. Lots of haze, so you couldn't taken any landscape type shots and the sky was covered in high fog / thin clouds that had no shape or form and would make for super white blown out skies. Bummed me out so much that I spent over four hours walking around to get inspired and returned home with less than 30 shots, all of them pretty mediocre.
And lately, we've been having nice sunsets after a mostly crummy summer, but I'm too busy with work to take advantage of them.
HOWEVER, I'm going to a weeklong K9 seminar and plan to shoot all types of police and customs dogs doing their thing. Should be interesting.
