Tip of the Day: Landscapes and the Sky

One thing that many people have trouble with when planning their photographic adventures is the sky. More often than not, we check the weather reports and the report calls for a beautiful sunny day which is great, but without a cloud in the sky, deep blue is just not very interesting. Next time you are planning your photographic adventures, look for days with partially cloudy conditions. There is nothing better than the sky breaking through the clouds as it brings out the definition, texture and interesting transitions in the otherwise boring sky. To make things even more interesting, look for days with very light wind, which will assist in architecting interesting patterns in the clouds and if you are shooting near bodies of water there will be a presence of motion which will make for more sweeping views.
