Normally I prefer to avoid mid day sun with its less interesting high contrast blast of light, but I was able to salvage something here with modest cloud cover. Three hours earlier would have made for a more interesting composition.

You got some dynamic range out of that. Shadows didn't eat it up too much. Sometimes you gotta use what you got when you're there.

I had the opposite problem yesterday. Misty rain all day long. I watched for scenes where I could just let it go flat.

Thanks! I had to play around with some levels adjustment layers to get things just the way I wanted. Back in the old "wet" days dodge and burn was sometimes the answer, or multi-contrast papers, but now I'll study the file for a while and do selective surgery on various areas to get what I want.

Misty rain and fog has its own special appeal and I like those also. Letting some areas go flat while emphasizing contrast in others can result in some very pleasing atmospheric perspective.

The sun was behind me and I noticed his shadow was between us as it was reflecting off the store windows.

Is she wearing a parka? Pretty killer shot, I'd be interested in seeing the color version (though I'm certain I like the black and white better).
