Just wondering what do you usually shoot when the weather is gloomy and muddy.

Mostly I shoot stuff for practice, to work on choosing exposure correctly, etc. But, I also find it a good time to look at subjects for macro or urban/structures, forest or most anything else that doesn't require skies for the shot. It's good mood lighting, too, for those that like gloom :p

These were both taken on cloudy, "blah" days.

Alternatively, you might choose to set up studio-style shots, flowers in vases, water drops, or whatever creative bent you may have.
