Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted January 11, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted January 11, 2015 As I think I may have made clear before, I don't happen to enjoy this spot on the globe very much. I spent much of Friday trying to shoot exteriors, in the UK, in January. I mean, seriously: what is one supposed to do with greyish brown trees above greyish brown mud under a greyish brown sky? Fourteen stop cameras, we have these days, to shoot scenes that have about three stops of actual range in them! Aaargh! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Jeremy Cavanagh Posted January 11, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yeah, I know it can get a bit grey here in Winter but the sunny days are brilliant for shooting, I've been testing a new S16 camera and shot some exteriors on a bright sunny day in a park here in London and the resutling images just zinged and that wasn't due to any expertise on my part just the crisp bright sunshine.

Yup...when I was in Leeds in September of 2013, I had absolutely gorgeous weather. When it's nice there, it's really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted January 11, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted January 11, 2015 I find even when it's bright, that just looks even more stark and bleak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted January 12, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted January 12, 2015 You could do worse than borrow a leaf from Robbie Burns' book, who took solace in what he saw as nature's bleak reflections of his own melancholia: The sweeping blast, the sky o'ercast,The joyless winter day Let others fear, to me more dear Than all the pride of May: The tempest's howl, it soothes my soul, My griefs it seems to join; The leafless trees my fancy please, Their fate resembles mine! Not particularly helpful I know, but about all I can muster from the confines of my banana lounge down here in the sun-drenched Antipodes. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
