We’re in the height of summer right now in the UK, although it doesn’t look like it. The British weather is legendary for it’s temperamental changes and violent skies, even when it’s supposed to be the middle of July!

This means that for getting a tan or enjoying a picnic, we’re not that blessed. However when it comes to taking photographs outdoors, our weather is just about ideal. The best pictures, that ones that look truly great when printed on canvas for example, are not taken during strong, brilliant sunlight. Instead, they’re taken during overcast conditions, low light, early morning or in the sort of muggy, nondescript weather that Britain has so much of.

Therefore if you’re looking to take some great photos with a touch of dynamism, don’t despair at the lack of sunlight we’re experiencing right now. Instead grab your camera and go outside and make use of the Great British weather.
