Fall picks on a crappy day

Ok here in Upstate NY all it has done is rain rain and more rain.

Fall colors are full but not at peak(close)....ZERO sun....some fog most of the day.
What would you do to TRY to get some decent shots before it's all gone?

My take.....slap on a 81A and push er to +0.3-0.7 ev.
Am I wrong?

I know that southern tier rain very well indeed!! I lived across the river in Vestal from 1965-1975. Loved the Fall colors up there, but hated the long winters and the rainy spells. 30 years ago I decided to move south.
Try the warm filter or work them in PS a little...

I hear ya! I hate the winter here too!
But least we aren't being shook up......no hurricanes.....no tornados....no mud slides.....no wild fires.....rarely a posionous creature and it's not 100+ during the summer.
So for 4 months or so I can tolerate it with a lotta complaining!:D

Gotta love PS/PS2!! To think all the 35mm film I wasted over the years not being able to correct this and that! Eshhhhhhh

81A is good. 81B sometimes too. Set your white balance to Shade or Cloudy and leave it there even in sunny weather unless you want accurate skin tones.Use a polarizer ... LOTS!!! and fill flash too but don't over expose. Slight underexposure is good as long as you're not so far under that you're blocking up you're shadows and creating unnecessary noise. Shoot at you're slowest ISO. and always use a tripod or at least a monopod.

Happy hunting
