Established in 2013 by MainStreetHost and taken on by Alex Luyckx Photography in 2015, #photochat is a community of photography professionals and enthusiasts who congregate to talk shop and discuss anything and everything photography. To participate in our weekly chat (every Thursday at 1:00 pm), search the #photochat hashtag on either Twitter or Counter.Social to see the conversation, or find me at @AlexLuyckxPhoto on Twitter and Counter.Social @AlexLuyckxPhoto for more info. Include the hashtag in your tweets to answer the questions and talk with the other participants.
If there’s a topic, you’d like to see covered in #photochat, hop onto Facebook, Twitter, or good old fashioned Email and let me know!
Our Topic for today, 12 January 2023, is beating the grey skies!
Question 1 – Do you try and get out and make photos on less-than-ideal days?
Question 2 – What other photography-related activities can you work on when the weather is terrible?
Question 3 – How do you beat the winter ‘blahs’?
Question 4 – What camera/lens/film do you take out on cold grey days?
Question 5 – Share some of your favourite photos in dull/grey conditions!
