I am still trying to master balancing exposure and white balance on dreary days when using color photography. It seems much easier to shoot gloomy days in monochrome.
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
Do you have a tool to custom set your white balance? If not, let’s talk. It has really changed my photography.
I can set it through the Canon software. I just can’t find one I like on a dreary day. I shoot everything in raw so I can tweak in post-processing.
Actually, the nuetral density filter has helped, but I am not satisfied.
