interesting dull dark days?

    Im finding it hard to add colour and excitement to photos when taken on a dull overcast day, seeing as were in the cold dark months is there any way to make these dull days into good images or any areas of photography that can add interest to these dreary days

    You might want to find some strong shapes or textures and try some B&W or macro.

    As steve said Black and white conversion can help,
    try some edge vignetting to bring the focus more onto the subject of the image
    Shoot some clouds and skies on days when they look interesting and keep them on file for overlaying with the dull sky

    Adding colour I find works better by getting out on days when the light is good. There’s no point spending hours in front of a computer trying to put something into an image that’s just not there. You can change it but I would only do this if I have no chance to revisit the location and the shot is really worth keeping.
    The light can be more dramatic early and late in the day so worth trying then

    Hope this helps
