Part 4 - Exercise 7

Cloudy weather and rain

This exercise falls into 3 parts. Part 1 involves taking 3 subjects in sunlight and under cloud.
The second part involves taking 3 shots on an overcast day of subjects with depth of texture.

(I didn't get round to doing this, but I'm pretty confident as to the effect I would have seen - i.e. that the sunlight increases contrast and the shadows help to present the subjects depth and form. Conversely, the diffused nature of the light when there is cloud cover is that overall contrast is reduced and the density of mid-tones and reduced shadow means that detail and texture can really come out.)

The 3rd part involves trying to capture some of the effects that rain can bring to a scene.
