Making the Most of an Unexpected Sunny Morning

It has been a winter of almost incessant rain, grey skies, flat light and dull, dreary conditions. It’s no surprise that these conditions have not been conducive to getting out with a (non weather sealed) camera.

On this morning it seemed as though it was going to be more of the same. Seeing the overcast sky and sensing imminent rain showers, I went for a quick morning walk in the woodland without my camera.

Unexpectedly, the clouds gave way to some sunshine so I decided to make the most of the conditions I was given by taking out my phone camera to see what pictures I could take.

Unfortunately, the early morning winter light confused my phone camera and the dynamic range was more than it could handle at times. Nevertheless, I did enjoy my morning and I have a few images that will serve as memories of a brief respite from the rain this winter!

And my takeaway from the morning is – always make the most of a photography opportunity.
