Gave up when I couldn't get the glass clean so I'm still bored!
 
Wow that is such a lovely image there. Guessing a flash was used to get the back ground like that mate?
 
Bit of an involved setup. Flash, softbox, blanking strips, baffles and some use of Photoshop!

You were, but I took you off when you stopped pestering the life out of everyone on the XT-2 thread.

The soft, flat light can be good for woodland shots of plants and fungi. Look out for details in dead leaves, fallen trees etc.

Black and white shots of subjects can also work well as the gray skies don't matter so much (and there's usually a bit of detail to be teased out of the clouds on even the dullest of days).

OK. Go to your supermarket and buy some fruit. Apple, peach, grapes, you know.. fruit! Then set them up individually or together. Shoot them in natural light, artificial light. Use shades, reflectors, different backgrounds, and have fun. Then eat them afterwards.
Get bored with that? Go back to the supermarket and pick the next photogenical item. Tins and bottles even.

You did a whole bottle? By yourself or did Mrs Mikledore have a small glass to "help out"?

There's still "wine" in the bottle.
The original contents struggled against last night's venison casserole but we just kept on trying. :whistle:
 
Actually, crap weather can produce sublime images. Much better than fine. Except for the fact you probably get cold or frozen and p***ed off. Still, one must suffer for one's art I guess. Unless you are wealthy or famous. Once watched a documentary about a 'name' tog that followed him around the highlands while doing his landscapes. Cue several devoted assistants, three 4x4 vans and back-up tuck shop. The 'name' just pointed from the warmth and let the slaves set up before he wandered up and pressed the shutter and returned to the car's warmth while they packed up. Next location chaps!

Anyway, I didn't want to suffer for my art one rainy day so picked up an apple, placed it below the window and took this shot, all while enjoying a coffee. d90 and four image stack.

Then you'd complain that you didn't have a weather sealed body or the right rucksack or the right clothing or footwear or.......

Well, I've always quite fancied the woman on checkout No.4.
 
Flash and rain with outdoor cover can produce some great results?
