Re: Why do my photos look flat and dull
The answer to your question is - "because they are." You will not get much contrast, the difference between darks and lights when shooting grey aircraft on grey overcast days. A bit of exposure compensation, the light meter is exposing for middle grey, so opening it up a stop or so would ...
