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.

A shortlist of 40 recipes for grey days, pulled from both the site and the Film Recipes App and ranked by a blend of popularity and suitability for overcast and wet conditions. App-only entries are flagged; the full app library covers all conditions and styles with over 800 recipes in total.
