Cloudy sky Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

A blue picture containing the two elements I adore. The water, which is simply my retreat and the sky, where I wish I could go but, alas, I cannot.

Hi Yanni,

Belated welcome to TE! This is a very nicely composed image and the fascinating sky really comes across to the viewer. I like your choice to place the horizon so low in the frame. On the critique side this is an example of a contrast range that was simply outside the exposure latitude of your camera. This would be hard for any camera to capture and not have that blazing sun burn out. It would have been easier had the clouds been a tad thicker. As you continue you might look into other techniques for exposure control such as High Dynamic Range (HDR) or use of graduated neutral density filters. Best of light to you and keep up the good work.

Cheers!

Bob G.
