Nature photography relies on your sensitivity to the natural light above all else. You have surely heard that for good landscape photography, you generally want sunny conditions, early or late in the day when the light is low and soft.

You are not alone, this happens to us all; professional and beginner alike.

Here are just a few situations that you could explore when cloudy weather threatens to derail your photography outing.
