You must do something inside..

Okay thats my age showing digging up old Adam and the Ants lyrics, but what do you do when you want to shoot something but the weathers bad or its to dark and you can't be bothered to go out?

Just being nosy I guess but it could offer some inspiration.

Make yourself a lightbox, shoot some water drops.
If it's too dark and the skies are clear shoot the stars.

Desperate but not serious
The weather drives me delirious

Try some macro work - use your flash for a proper exposed object and a dark/black background. You have all the equipment you need...

flop

haha, nice teraflop

Pretty good ideas, I think macro may be order of the day, or perhaps try and get my son (1 yr old) to pose for a shot... hmn, maybe herding cats would be easier!

Soft light, dramatic clouds, reflections off the pavement...where do you suppose that bad weather images come from?

Rain Covers

Closeup shots of my kids smurf collection or if wifey has a vase with flowers then I will play with them

Get out the macro lens, flash and go to the basement to shoot spiders.

Bad weather often makes for good photos. But I usually end up setting up a light box and practicing product photography. Or just chasing the cats around the house.

Turn out all the lights with your camera on a tripod in bulb mode... and use a flash, iPod, cellphone, etc and do some painting with light.

Cook some food and photograph that.

Taking a nap is a very underrated activity.

I have always considered indoor photography of nudes to be very creatively diverting!

Macro shooting
Get some flowers from the store and use the diffusion of light outside to light them through windows
Set up a water dropper station and play with that
Smoke shots
Go back through and re-review old shots to see what you might salvage that you didn't 'see' before

Heh! For this, let's have workshops!

You don't get to model, though, Tony
