A Gloomy Start of 2025

When the weather turns grey, misty, and a little moody, many photographers hesitate to head out. But I’ve learned that these seemingly dull conditions are actually a hidden gem for photography. The soft, diffused light and the atmospheric mist create a dreamy, cinematic quality that’s impossible to replicate on bright sunny days. Some of my most atmospheric photos have been captured in gloomy weather—like a lone highlander shrouded in mist or man in a canoe in the haze. These moments feel timeless, like stepping into a fairytale.

So next time the sky turns grey, grab your camera and head out. You might just capture some of your most magical shots yet!
