95% of the time, the sky is not going to have classic "good light." Sunset and sunrise don't last long, and even then they're not always right for photography. That's why it's so critical to know how to take good photos, even in bad light!

I adventured through Florida's notoriously ever-changing weather to talk about doing photography on an overcast day, in midday sun, and in the pouring rain. Just a little behind-the-scenes info - finding a good rainstorm for this video was actually super difficult!

To find the rain, I consulted my weather app constantly, drove two hours away, waited all morning and afternoon, and FINALLY ended up in the massive rainstorm you see in the video! It only lasted about fifteen minutes, and it almost killed my microphone, so I'm super glad I was able to bring back some footage.

All of the lighting conditions I talk about in this video are sure to happen at some point in your journey as a photographer, so it helps to be prepared and know what to do. Sunset and sunrise can be beautiful, but really the "best light" in photography is whatever works the best for your particular subject. If you keep that in mind, you'll be able to take some amazing photos.
