Film recipes for grey, overcast and rainy conditions
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.
These recipes are drawn from both the site and the Film Recipes App, ordered first by how closely each recipe was designed to capture the cloudy & rainy character — from direct interpretations through to inspired-by looks — and then by popularity within each group. App-only recipes are included and marked 🔒.
