Back in the 80's & 90's I was a very keen amateur photographer, I specialised in low light pictures so I was always out hoping for a sunrise or sunset, night pictures were one of my favorites as the streets emptied and all the parked vehicles moved out of the scene, some of my best pictures were taken after rain, the reflections of light the colours from different bulbs and the odd headlight helping light that dark corner, the colours were amazing when I left the shutter open for longer periods to allow the film capture what the naked eye does not, but practice allows you to spot what others would thing is a waste of time. The point is even the best digital cameras can't capture what would be your best ever picture unless you set it correctly so next time you are out on a soggy evening don't look at that lovely view that would be great if it was sunny look at the way light walls on something, rain on a wall with reflections of coloured light can be more stunning than a scenic view that everyone takes and holds many more memories of a location.
I sold many pictures back in the day most of which were low light pictures, some can still be seen today on postcards around Brighton and on regional calendars, I was even Amateur Photographer of the year back in 1997 so I am qualified to help you take a better picture.
Bit of a daft thread I know but try a time exposer shot of a daylight scene with clouds and be amazed what happens to the scene, for instance rough water can suddenly become calm and clouds have motion. I really should take up photography again!!
