✨What are YOUR photography tips for creating vibrant images on overcast days? ☁I’d love to hear how you approach dull weather with your camera! Whether it’s playing with colour, finding unique subjects, or something different. 👇Let’s start a discussion in the comments to inspire each other to make the most of overcast days. I look forward to seeing what you come up with! 📸✨
Good morning Kim, yes the beauty is out there no matter the light. Yes, it's all connected in life. Great tips today, Have a safe, happy, and blessed upcoming week.
I follow a couple of Swedish photographers, one said that on an outdoor location they had to wait up to an hour for the sun to go behind a cloud! So, if we can recognise the advantages of our oh-so-frequent overcast days, maybe we can create some distinctive looks? 🌤🌦🌧
Comforted by the fact that I've been photographing raindrops for many, many years - also the prickly mahonia bush with its stunning blue berries, yellow flowers and mixed coloured leaf.
I love grey days to take pictures. It seems to make colors vibrant. It's a natural diffuser which helps make exposures consistent. I always enjoy your videos. I have just found out that I am cancer free after having treatment for prostate cancer. This experience has made me more determined to get out to enjoy nature, with or without my camera. I love your inspiration videos.❤❤ ❤

Thanks Kim for another engaging video. I saw another composition early in your video, just before you found the yellow flower, you pointed the camera up and I saw beautiful shapes in the branches with the sky as background. Which may look good in Black and White. Shapes in nature are my passion. Take care. Ross
Thank for a creative video (again)! If I wants out despite the weather conditions I go "low". I do some macro shooting. Snowdrops et al when it is winter and bugs/raindrops et al when they are around. But also doing nothing at all, just enjoying life as I use my camera as an excuse to get out 🙂
It is Mahonia Japonica, and it is a garden shrub that originated from Japan hence the Latin specie name Japonica. Is this information of use to you, Kim
I agree that the Mahonia (the bush) makes for a great photo subject, but it is an invasive species in Europe and is detrimental to the local flora and wildlife as a whole, sadly. Same as the Japanese maple and I think I have spotted cherry laurel as well.
Thank you for confirming this, Anita. I'm so used to seeing Rhododendron in the woodland, but I don't think I've seen Mahonia before. Great to hear more about it ☺️🙏
Hi Kim great vid As you may remember.ber I live in Yorkshire and have a local wood Haw wood . I cheat I carry a water bottle with a fine atomiser head so I can create water droplets without rain . Shhhh don't share my secret lol
Not Barberis, Berberis, pronounced 'Ber - ber -iss' and that usually has thorns. Mahonia has a spiky leaf and is generally yellow inside the stem when cut or peeled.

Hi Kim, it's definitely a Mahonia, i have one in my garden. Very fragrant flowers this time of year which turn into blueish berries.
Loved your tips and images, Kim. You made me smile, too. Great as always! 😁🙏

The yellow flowered bush is a mahonia 🙂
Great video Kim wish I had found some wooden areas but I spent my time in Edinburgh for the first time ever keep up the good work 👏
That's great! Edinburgh is such a lovely city. Hope you had a great time 😊🙏
@@kimgrantphotography Absolutely, like all of Scotland .

Thank you Marri ☺️ 🙏

The shrub is a mahonia, definitely not a native species. Great video, as always.
