Film Recipes for Cloudy Overcast Days

Whilst many of us might prefer a never ending golden hour, some days are just cloudy and the light can be dull. These conditions can be more challenging for photography, but the lack of harsh contrast and the way colours can look richer open up new opportunities. Whilst not all were designed for overcast weather, here are the film recipes that I have found work quite well on cloudy days.

If you want to jump to a couple of my favourites, try Nostalgic Standard, Vinterskog or Ultra Color 200.
