Skies can be tricky. The best lighting for human subjects is a slight overcast or near dusk/dawn, which can leave your sky a little washed out or darkening. Or if you wait until sunset, you have to get creative with lighting your main subjects (unless the sky is your main subject). Occasionally, you luck out and can get a great sky without sacrificing whatever else is in the picture.

So many beautiful shots..Where’s that first building on there from? oh and I see you registered your blog too under copyright, good call 🙂
Done it long back Andy but I doubt this makes any safe bet for us. The building is really impressive. This is High court Mumbai.
True, I’m still getting people stealing my photos, despite that so I’ve cropped my photos half size, kinda ruins the shot somewhat but at least I have the full picture 🙂
That’s a good idea. I will try.
Hope it works for you, you have so many beautiful captures 🙂
Perfect and beautiful Wow! Love the image of the lake and colorful trees and the mountains especially!
Your encouraging words are much appreciated.
Wow, you had some perfect skies there, absolutely beautiful photos…
Kat I was lucky to get these perfect skies. Thanks.
Beautiful images. Thanks for joining the challenge!
Thanks Nancy.
All excellent skies, though I favor the flying gulls and that breathtaking vista of you mountains. Sometimes, it’s hard to do anything but gasp in wonder at your pictures and what they portray!
I remember you updating me on sea gulls and their behavior. I only captured them but you gave me an insight to the winged creatures in your comments.
Crystal-clear shots! Loved what you said about skies.
Thanks Alok. Keep visiting for more.
I always like how you show me places I may never travel yo, Rashmi. Sweet buildings and skies. You capture people well when you have family posts. 🙂
Thanks for the wonderful compliment Robin. I try to put soul and spirit into my posts.
stunning images… thank you.
