Description
Shooting on overcast days is one of my favorite types of weather for utilizing soft, even light. The cloud cover removes harsh shadows and blown-out highlights, making it easier to capture fine patterns and textures in bird feathers, like this portrait in grey of an Anna's Hummingbird taking a pause from its high-energy day.
