Working with diffused light - how to embrace flat conditions
Hello and welcome to Inspired, a weekly email for my paid subscribers. In this series I want to explore topics which I hope might spark some inspiration for your own photography. I will talk about my thought process for creating images, both in the field and in post processing. The posts will be linked in some way to the monthly challenges, hopefully giving you all lots of food for thought.
Foggy conditions loved by many outdoor photographers. They allow us to create atmospheric and minimalist compositions and provide intrigue by obscuring parts of the landscape that might be distracting. For woodland scenes fog is the holy grail, providing a means to simplify complex scenes.
But what do we do if the conditions are more mist than fog, creating a veil of grey light that feels quite uninspiring? This week I headed to the coast to see what I could make of the diffused light on a flat, grey morning.
