We had a photo series of TV programmes here some years ago, one film showed
Don McCullin on location in Scarborough (an E. coast seaside town) looking
particularly disgruntled. When asked why, he replied that the sun was
shining. This seemed a perfectly delightful scenario at the seaside but he
then went on to explain that he hated bright light and that he preferred
overcast (skies) light for all his pictures.
You can't please all of the people...
