Re: Blue skies...
that is the most controllable way. otherwise, two exposures, one for the people and one for the dark blue skies, and blend in Photoshop. or, you could just shoot without regard to sky and replace with artificial skies. there are plugins in Photoshop just for this purpose, once you mask off everything but the sky. if all else fails, you can buy stock photography of dark blue skies and clouds and blend. this is advertising, so anything goes. change way more for this.

Tan, I just wanted to thank you for asking this question. I have had the same problem with blue skies and I have enjoyed the responses you have received to the query. It sounds like there are several potential solutions, but if you are shooting digital anyway I would lean towards PS. And thank you to everyone else for your suggestions. I will be trying several of them. David Madsen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.davidmadsen.com
Re: Blue skies...
Hmmm magic wand might work, but select color or selecting similar may work a bit better, depending on the foreground. Actually, once the sky is selected, it might be ok to invert the selection and copy the foreground to a pic of a great sky, nice clouds, good contrast and deep blues ... while I've not tried it, the cloud filter in PS might work if there's a cloudless sky. Lots of ways to get a good sky. William Robb wrote: I would just shoot the darned thing and use some of the Photoshop tools to adjust the sky to what I want.

You might also try going into hue/saturation click the drop down level menu under edit and play around with the blue and or the cyan levels. If there isn't a lot of blue elsewhere you may be able to get away without selecting the sky otherwise use the lasso or magic wand tool to select. Butch
Re: Blue skies...
Tanya asked how to make deep blue skies, high contrast and fluffy white clouds. Tanya, polarizing filters work best when the camera is pointed at a 90 degree angle to the direction of the sunlight. I suggest that you use a high contrast film and a polarizing filter pointed in the right direction. Tom Reese
Blue skies...
I have a question regarding blue skies... I have a shoot coming up where the client has requested deep blue skies, and high contrast, white clouds as backdrops. Colouring and saturation to look very much like the shots that on this site link that Peter Weimann posted... (beautiful photography here, btw...) http://home.fotocommunity.de/weimann/index.php?id=31851g=28995s=12 My question is this: What is the best way to achieve this effect? Even with using polarizers, I have never been able to achieve such a deep blue colour. All of mine are generally leaning toward the cyan range of blue rather than, true blue. Like for example, in this shot: http://www.tanyamayer.com/fairmaidens/lexi1.jpg Is it likely that this type of shot really needs PS'ing to make the sky look so deep blue in colour? Should I try using a graduated filter of some sort? My wedding tomorrow is on the beach, so I am going to do some stuff with a polarizer to see what I come up with, but I won't hold my breath. I will be completing the shoot (not the wedding, but the one where the client has requested the blue skies etc) digitally, so I would also love to know if anyone else has had any success achieving this result digitally?

Re: Blue skies...
We ... I've only fiddled with it a few times, but here's what I've come to understand: the clouds are randomly generated, so if you don't like the first one, or the second one, or well, you get the idea, just keep generating clouds until you get what you like. Frankly, a better idea, IMO, is to just go out and snap a few sky shots that you like, and then use them as appropriate. Since you're going to be doing this type of photography for a while, it might be helpful to start developing a collection of backgrounds ... sky, sea, walls, flowers ... whatever seems right. shel Tanya Mayer Photography wrote: Yep, Shel, done that before myself, and it worked great.

I must say I've never done it myself, but I guess it may produce a reasonably impressive and natural results.
