I don't know what parts are played by the different weather conditions, lenses, and cameras. Yesterday & today I struggled with lighting --yesterday because of fog & today cloud variables. I tried a lot of different things both days. My best monochrome days were somewhat dark, an E-1 camera and a Pentax Legacy lens, unless one wants to count the days when everything growing seemed monochromatic. Yesterday I used a Minolta legacy lens and the E-520 (which is more advanced than the E-1) and couldn't master the fog. Today I used the E-520 and a more advanced lens, the Sigma 18-125mm and mastered the changing light perhaps half the time.

Am I just a sucker for Wuthering Heights effects? Hmmmm.....
