Where do I go to photgraph when it is dull and gray outside?

If I don't find something to photgraph soon it's going to cost me a fortune in building a studio that I don't have the room or the money for!!!

Any ideas of inspiration will be appreciated.

You go out into the rain and wind, protecting your camera or not if it's a WR one, and find something to make a project.

My latest project in the rain has been running on ePHOTOzine and I called it "Found Colour" - colours are fantastic in the wet. They glisten with a vibrant intensity. Go seek them out and see for yourself and I'm sure you will find plenty to photograph.

That's just one example of a project. Another might be "Windows" or "Post Boxes" and the challenge is to find good examples and make imaginative images. There are lots of ideas that could be used.
Best regards, John

If it's dull and grey outside then go outside.

Still lifes? Flowers are particularly pleasing and can be quite challenging too.

Can't remember where I originally got the link, but there's a few potential tips in this free ebook: Good Photos in Bad Light
