This doesn't mean that you cannot take stunning photos on sunny summer days!
Sometimes you just need to creatively look at a subject and look at how you want to catch the light and represent the final impact of the image.
Light shining through the leaves of a flower, reflecting off the many interesting objects next to some roads.
All of these make amazing subjects.
I have found it very difficult to look and see the lights and shadows that make every photo an image with dimension. I still battle with it on a daily basis. Sometimes that effect you saw in your mind's eye just eludes your creative process completely.
Frustrating beyond imagination it might be, but I have learned to relax, lock everything else out of my mind and just to enjoy the moment.
Smelling the air, looking around (even if you have to pretend to be a tourist), and just absorbing the moment. And most importantly, I have learned not to rush myself.
Putting pressure on yourself to achieve is sometimes more destructive than the strictest critic.
Enjoying and taking your time with each project, is an unwinding process with amazing results.
Regardless if you sell your photography, or just do it for the love of it, it will be perfect for the emotion that you invest in it. Good emotions lead to creative interesting photos.
