When I started taking pictures, I always thought sunny days provide the best light and conditions. It didn’t take too long, until I realized, that it is so much easier to created appealing images during overcast, rainy or foggy days. So, like most photographers, I guess, I started to avoid the harsh sun around noon on clear days. But nowadays I actually go back and restart embracing conditions like this. I think they can actually create more extraordinary moments, but it is definitely much more challenging to get a proper result. No idea, whether I succeeded in this particular case, when I shot this banded demoiselle, but I liked the experience and I still like the image.
