Shooting in Bad Weather on Purpose

Blue skies are the enemy of interesting landscape photography and nobody tells you this in advance.

Storm Fronts Have Edges

The picture is almost never in the storm; it is at the edge, where the light gets under the cloud for twenty minutes. Watch the forecast for the gap between two systems and be standing somewhere useful when it arrives.

Sea Fog Is Free Depth

Fog separates a landscape into planes for you, which is work you would otherwise do with a long lens and a lot of luck. Expose for the highlights, accept that the histogram will look wrong, and fix it later.

Take a towel. Take two.
