What\u2019s the best lighting conditions for taking photos? OK, so that\u2019s a rhetorical question as there is no ideal light for every occasion but light does have the power to influence your enthusiasm for photography.<\/p>\n

Be honest, when you look out the window on a grey overcast day where the chances of rain is fairly high, the last thing that\u2019s on your mind is grabbing your camera and taking some photos. Of course the flip side is as soon as the sun comes out, everyone\u2019s up for a bit of photo fun.<\/p>\n
