It’s often said that weather is a photographer’s best friend. I’m afraid that I’m often the odd man out, when I express pleasure at the weather channel’s forecast of “bad weather.” What is it they say – one man’s feast is another man’s poison? Weather and photography certainly put many of us nature photographers on the opposite side of the fence when the weather forecast is being discussed.
How often does a “normal” person wake up to a cold misty rain totally enveloped in a heavy fog and say “yes”? I can’t count the number of times a quick look out the window to a star-filled predawn horizon and just climbed back between the warm sheets. Yet, let me discover that it’s hard to see my truck in the driveway because of a blanket of fog and my adrenalin begins to flow.
The same is certainly true when the leaves start to change colors as autumn approaches or as the first fiddleheads begin to sprout in the spring. Add a sunrise or sunset to the mix and the combinations are pure magic.
