Bad Weather Landscape Photography & Adding a Lens Coat to My 50-200mm f 2.8

 What do you do when the weather is cloudy, drizzly, windy, and just plain uninspiring?

In this episode, I head out to a new park in Walton, Kentucky for some winter landscape photography — only to find frozen water, flat light, and zero inspiration. But that’s real photography. Not every outing produces a portfolio image. Sometimes you scout. Sometimes you experiment. Sometimes you just test your gear. I also: • Test my OM System 50-200mm lens in windy conditions • Compare lightweight vs heavy tripod stability • Talk about traveling to Australia and gear decisions • Install and review a $92 lens coat for protection This is what real-world landscape photography looks like when conditions aren’t perfect. If you’ve ever gone out in bad light and questioned your decision — this one’s for you.
