[Leica] How to capture gloom

[Nathan Wajsman]

i know this is not very helpful in terms of answering the technical question, but sometimes when faced with something like this, I simply conclude that not everything was meant to be captured on a sensor. A fancy way of saying that I give up on the photo and just enjoy the view.

Cheers,
Nathan
