How do I cope with it? It's impossible to take good photos under overcast sky. How do (You) kope with it?

And there's always black and white

An overcast sky means low contrast, so either shoot high contrast subjects and adjust in post, use a technique to emphasize the contrast (be that in post or in camera)

Overcast skies are fantastic for portraits, flowers, architecture, etc. The sky is one gigantic light box.

Why use a high contrast film and stand dev? Won't it just cancel each other out?

No, standdev and high contrast are two separate topics. Think about it like increasing local contrast in RAW files.
>>
>>4384050
This
It's much better than harsh light in most cases
>>
>>4384125
Stand dev flattens out the exposure curve. If you're using rodinal the depleting nature works by reducing development of highlights, preserving them, while correctly developing shadows. Reduced contrast.
>>
>>4384170
Reduced contrast is a spectrum of possible reductions. You can use less contrasty film but you most likely would get totally different curve. You can bend contrast curve in zillions of ways. So no - stand development is not "undoing" contrasty nature of film neither is reducing the curve of whole strip of film. It's just like applying locally different curve to signal recorded locally on film surface.

Everything gets get developed until depletion of developer near surface of film (which can be countermeasured by agitation) or until development gets stopped (because thereis nothing to develop or because you stop the proces with stopper/rinsing developer out with water).

The trick is time of development is not the same for whole surface and is regulated by dilution on degree of exposure in local area. In standard development time of development is being cut after arbitrary time no matter what happens on surface and movements of fluid during agitation removes local "static layer of used fluid" so areas that would stop being developed in stand in agitation gets developed further.

So if you make solution potent enough it would overdevelop. If you make dilution very very high it would underdevelop no matter what method is used. The differences are time curves for differently exposed areas of film.

This would look so much better on a sunny day with that lake deep blue, the trees rich green, with a nice blue sky with a few fluffy clouds.

>An overcast sky means low contrast, so either shoot high contrast subjects and adjust in post, use a technique to emphasize the contrast (be that in post or in camera)
i feel like i'm retarded, an overcast sky always ends up being so high contrast that either it's blown out entirely or everything else is too dark, and stacking exposures isn't always an option
>>
>>4384198
I wasn't there on such a day though, gotta work with what you have
>>4384234
Clouds get CLIPPED
If it's too bright for my eye it's too bright for my image
>>4384314
You are right on the fact that "contrast" is a retarded word that confuses the situation

I meant it's pretty low contrast because you don't have many shadows, because everything is in shadow
The only other thing you have is that white sky
But in between the two there are very few levels of darkness-to-light, our dynamic range is lower than usual, either X part of the image is too dark or it's too bright

Photography's about compromise, and when the available light is hard to use that's when you compromise the most, but it's also when you find alternative ways to make things work (editing the RAW file, pushing your film, going all artsy or using B&W)

Overcast is manageable. Evening sunlight on the other hand is brutal. It's basically "RIP any and all foreground you might have in your photo"

Overcast is bestcast. I see blue sky, I am not happy.
