    Sometimes you just can't win!

    I've been waiting for some overcast days so I can take pictures of my Series 70 and the 1941 Detective Special I recently got.
    Most days when the light was good, it was 20-30 degrees and very windy out. Or raining (we've had a lot of that), or 5 inches of snow.
    Today, I looked outside, checked the weather, and everything was good to go. I had to run a few errands which I did with dispatch. I wanted a pack of Camel shorts for some of the pictures. Not my brand but I'll smoke 'em anyway.....
    You guess it - as soon as I got home the clouds disappeared and now it's as sunny and bright as a dog day in August. Well, the forecast for tomorrow is supposed to be overcast so I'll try again.

    I never thought I'd complain that the sun was shining

    I can't take a decent picture no matter what it's doing outside so count yourself fortunate my friend

    I'm no great shakes with the camera. Matter of fact, I get the shakes. That's why I started to use a tripod.
    I don't use a flash in overcast weather. I don't know shinola about photography. Are you supposed to?

    Who says complaining never gets you anywhere?
    The sun went back in and I took a few shots of the 1941 DS.
    I am going to post them in a minute.

    I never win, but if you would pay your electric bill, then you could take the picture inside.

    I don't take indoor pictures anymore. They all come out lousy.
    I am looking into making a light box for indoor pictures.

    Weather condition looks very uncertain where you live.
