Britain has never been known for having particularly great weather, in fact this little island on the side of Europe seems to get some of the most contrasting weather of any country, ranging from rain, to heavy rain, to sunny spells between rain showers. We’re now in the full swing of summer, and once again it’s raining.

With the credit crunch affecting people’s budgets too, many are choosing not to go abroad this year on their holidays, and instead spending their summer holidays inside Blighty. While this means many of those trips are spent in doors looking out at the bead weather, or running around in between sunny spells, this is great news for British photographers.

Beautiful hot weather with glaring sunshine maybe what everyone craves, but not the photographer. Our weather is dull and dreary perhaps, but when it comes to taking pictures the British climate is just about perfect. The best lighting conditions for taking outdoor pictures are overcast skies, cloudy skies and low light conditions (basically our British summer).

So don’t stay indoors wondering when it will all clear up, or jump on a plane and head off to warmer climates; no, grab your camera and utilise our photographic favourable weather conditions and take some great pictures.
