expressive sky...

[daden]

Frenz,
How to make an expressive sky pics... in the landscape pics I usually saw the sky was veeeeeery blue... anybody care to share how? Is that by pure chance (good weather) or some cam setting or any special filter? Thanks!

Polarizer can help to make th sky looks slightly more blue as well under some situation

To be specific... for digital prosumer user?... is it the circular or linear?... coz I heard that the linear on is more suitable for D/SLR sensor/film... Thanks

Err, more or less... but how about if I use it (blue filter) in the daylight? Thanks

 

[blimmer]

it works both at night and in the day
alternatively you can get a 1A daylight filter

i think for blue sky..photoshop is best rather than a filter imo.
or simply -ev is possible.

I am using a circular polarizer, it works perfectly for my FZ10.
