Ideal Light & the Magic Hour (continued)
Another weather-related condition that affects photography is seen on days with overcast conditions. With overcast skies, sunlight is highly diffused. And diffused light is often excellent for portrait and wedding photographers. Although the sky may not be particularly interesting for your photos, the evenly diffused light is extremely complementary to most subjects.
As a closing comment, I want to mention that I realize not all important events can be scheduled around the availability of the "magic hour." As a professional photographer, I'm expert in the various techniques needed to mitigate problems related to harsh lighting conditions. That being said, when possible, I strongly recommend that you take this "magic hour" information into consideration when scheduling the time frame for your events or portraits.
