  Hi Jacob,
Overcast sky dosent necessarily mean a bad picture day. Use your eyes, look at whats around you. If it has just rained try using puddles of water as relectors of street lamps or street signs. Reflection makes for great photos. Give it a go.

  Take advantage of the diffused light a cloudy, gray day has to offer.
Just compose your shots carefully, to exclude as much of the dull-gray sky from the frame as possible.

  Besides an overcast sky can be a photographert's best friend. LOOK DOWN! The beetle, the orchid, the pattern in the grass, no bright, direct sunlight leads to photos without harsh and disrtacting shadows. Kevin and Bob are dead on, as always. Take advantage of your days as they come and you will be much happier and productive in your photography.
