Not every sky will please every eye you can have a drama free day especially on days that have slow gray rain clouds with heavy belly’s, travel photographers have to adapt to the ever changing environment and try to squeeze whatever they can out of the scene presented knowing that they may never get the opportunity to shoot the location again.
Overcast diffused sky light Sometimes makes for a pleasing result depending on the subject matter you are showing, in this case it is complimenting the Oudegracht “Old Canal” in Utrecht.
The Oudegracht is a unique drop level canal that came to be from the practicality of flooding, the city’s original canals built in and around 1000 AD were lowered due to the fluctuations in water levels from the newly diverted Rhine and Vecht rivers flooding the streets at natures whim.
The Dutch being the ingenious water engineers that they are eliminated the source of water fluctuations with a dam around 1250 AD leaving canal level real estate high and dry and people began making use of the space for storage also for business and personal use which continues to this day.
I took this on September 22, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 32mm 1/5s, f/11 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz Denoise, Luminar and DXO
