Weather really influences how light looks in your travel photos. Here are some things I've learned over the years:
1. Overcast Days
- Soft Light: When it’s cloudy, the sun’s light spreads out in a nice way. This soft light is great for taking pictures of people and nature.
- Bright Colors: The colors in your photos can look very bright without harsh shadows getting in the way.
2. Sunny Days
- Strong Shadows: When the sun is shining directly, it can create really strong shadows and bright spots. Be careful, especially around noon!
- Golden Hour: Early in the morning or late in the afternoon, the light turns warm and golden. It makes everything look really pretty!
3. Rainy or Stormy Weather
- Dramatic Pictures: Stormy skies can make your photos look intense and interesting. Don’t hesitate to take photos when it’s raining!
- Cool Reflections: When things are wet, like streets or puddles, you can capture great reflections that add a lot to your pictures.
4. Season Changes
- Variety in Scenery: Each season brings different sights, from bright fall leaves to peaceful snowy scenes. Each one tells a different story in your photos.
In the end, using different weather conditions can keep your travel photography fun and new!
