Sick of cyan-blue skies

I don't know what planet some people think we live on, or maybe it's that some people have a restricted range of colour vision, but Earth skies are NOT cyan, they are blue and should look blue in pictures. As far as I know, there is no green component in the oxygen-scattering of blue light in the atmosphere. Cyan skies means you blew the blues ;-) Try a darker exposure or a camera with more dynamic range so it doesn't blow out. -- Paul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam |

It is an exposure challenge - if your principle subject has shadow detail that you want to capture, then skies invariably go to cyan or even close to white. Fill flash helps as long as the subject is close enough, but not always the case with outdoor photos. |
