Attila,
These shots are beautiful.
I never even go outside on cloudy days, because I don't know how to shoot in overcast conditions.
May I ask what your settings were.
I'd love to take shots this great in those conditions.

Hi there Meghan,

Alot of people don't like cloud - I guess I'm just an oddball!   :lol:  For the record, I did, on occasion, wait until the sun appeared from behind the clouds for some shots that day.

My settings:  shoot in Av @ f/5.6 with an ISO of I believe 100.  I used the same settings whether it was overcast or sunny.  

I made the choice to go out and just enjoy myself.  That's the neat thing about photography - making the most out of any type of condition and shooting in it.  That's also where it helps to have several things to photograph, which makes a spot like the bluffs so neat, and also why I shoot airshows, especially statics - think of all the angles!!

Cheers, Attila
