Whilst many people moan about dull weather and cloudy skies I quite like an overcast day when I’m out in the countryside like this – perhaps you have to think about taking a different type of shot but I find it adds to the feeling of space and emptiness of this type of environment.

The light is also more diffused, which means that not only can colours be more faithfully reproduced than in direct sunlight but it also makes it possible to capture greater detail on the ground without having to worry as much about blown highlights in the sky.
