Mike over at TOP has been going on about cameras again. Fell in imaginary love
(hadn't seen/used one) with the output
files from the Nikon D800e. He is convinced that it is the answer to his long
term dissatisfaction with digital B&W.
He'd just put up the folding 4x5 camera he acquired with such fanfare no long
ago. Now, he was going to sell everything,
and buy an 800e. Many, many replies spoke of many aspects, including the novel
ideas that it's more than the camera that
makes the images he admires, and that a rental would be a wise first step.
So now he's renting one, and posted "I'm not good at photographing during a
small window—and we'll probably have bad
weather for precisely the duration, with my luck—but we shall see what we can
see."
I, among others, replied taking him to task for preparing himself for failure.
My post contained links to three B&W
images taken in "bad" weather" I thought you folks might like to see some Moose
B&W:

Oh, Pshaw!
"Bad" weather just presents different opportunities for photography - and lots
of opportunities to explore B&W tonalities.
Find something ordinary indoors that you've ignored before. Indoor light is
often beautiful, often because it is dim.

Isn't the D800 a master of low light? (Although this was taken with a camera
you already have.)
Shoot through a torrential downpour - through a window will do fine.

Shoot just as the sun comes out as rain is ending.
