Take several photographs of the scene from different vantage points and camera
angles. Remember, if you don??™t like an image, you can always delete it.
Photograph Skyscapes
You can also create dramatic photographs of cloud formations. When
photographing a skyscape, the sky should be the predominant object
in your photograph. You??™ll get the best photographs of clouds if you
photograph early in the morning or late in the afternoon or around
sunset. Additional tips include the following:
??? Zoom in directly on the cloud formation, and include no landscape elements
in the picture.
??“Or??“
??? Photograph an interesting cloud formation at sunrise or sunset, with a nondistracting
foreground, as shown in the illustration to the left.
TIP
If possible, when composing a landscape scene, include
objects near the camera, such as blades of tall grass
or flowers. Shoot the scene with the smallest possible
aperture, as outlined in step 4, and all elements in the
scene will be in sharp focus.
TIP
If you own a polarizing filter, use it to increase contrast
when photographing skyscapes. Twist the outer ring of
the polarizing filter to deepen the blues in the sky. You??™ll
notice the most difference when the sun is at a 90-
degree angle to the subject you are photographing.
