Don't Let the Weather Influence You Too Much

This article was translated from Dutch with the help of AI. Read the original.

At the beginning of October 2024, I was photographing the sunrise in southern France. Or at least, that was the plan. The sun did rise, but it was hidden behind a thick layer of cloud. It still turned into a fantastic morning.

I took the participants in my photography masterclass to a beautiful location before dawn. From the village of Andillac, you can capture the sunrise in a fantastic way. A vineyard in the foreground, a pigeonier (dovecote) and beautiful rolling hills on the horizon.

The sun does need to be visible, though. A thick layer of cloud prevented that this morning. The timelapse I made shows this clearly.

If you watched the timelapse, you will have noticed the mist in the distant valley. A grey morning without sun is not very exciting, but the mist could turn out to be interesting. That is what I sent my participants towards. And it turned out to be a success.

Although the sunrise was disappointing, the mist rose from the valley and created a beautiful spectacle that nobody had expected. It turned out to be a joy to photograph, especially when the sun eventually rose above the clouds.

Mist, sunlight and the rolling hills made us forget the disappointing sunrise. In fact, everyone was delighted with the conditions that developed. This morning showed once again that you should not let the weather influence you too much.
