Giving up or not?

Hello,

I live in a country where its always grey weather, very little sun (Belgium)
I want to go out and photograph, but can u take good pics when its always dark and grey here?
We dont have lots of nature too, every inch here is stuffed with buildings etc etc....

Maybe i am in a "dark" moment too, can u guys give me some inspirations?

Greetings!

No matter your surroundings, there are always photo ops...you just have to look. It's certainly easier said than done. Macro photography is certainly a route that has a huge subject base just about anywhere. I certainly wish you luck

Become expert in black and white pics!

Sometimes clouds can make for very dramatic landscapes.

I second macro! There has got to be some nice plants, flowers, insects, small animals etc that you can photograph up close. How about birds? That's a challenging one!

Last winter when I first got my camera I had a blast going out in the snow and taking pictures of all the "little things".

I think the people that inhabit the American Deserts in South Eastern CA and Nevada feel the same way.... Gee I wish i had some clouds to shoot instead of 120 degree hot weather all the time..... just a lil perspective.

Be positive R_D and don't give up. USE what you see around you to the best advantage. (failing that, give up and give all your kit to me)

NEVER give up !!!!

just go out and shoot you will find something !!!

show us the view from your window.

You may not have incredible nature, but you have incredible architecture! I loved the time I spent in Belgium, and it afforded a lot of great photographic opportunities. Heck, I could spend weeks in Bruges (or Brugge for you if you're in the north) alone for photography.

Dark and grey weather makes colors pop like crazy.

sometimes i wish there are more gray weather here. gray skies is not good for landscape but it is great for portrait and many other things. i never manage to master taking photos with bright harsh sunlight.

I live in the Las Vegas area; you just have to wait for the right opportunity.

Some of the most famous photos ever taken were done in dark, gloomy weather in crowded cities. Believe it or not, bright, sunny days can be the worst for getting good photos especially in color.

I understand that King Leopold built a world class "greenhouse" at Laken, but it's open only a few days a year to the public. Pity as there would be thousands of good subjects (flowers).

Belgium is a country rich in history - must be a few subjects here.

How about the buildings?

My son and his wife went to Spa for the F1 races - another good subject (for next year).
