Adding Pretty New Skies

One of the fastest and prettiest ways to add a pop of WOW

to your photos is to switch out the sky!

When photographing portraits, I am always setting exposure

for the face, so often...especially with backlighting,

the sky will be blown out and look white.

I keep a folder of beautiful sky photos and simply

place them into the white sky.

If the sky isn't totally white, I actually paint it white

so the clouds from the sky overlay are bright white.

This original sunset photo has a lovely dark blue sky,

but you can add more pizzazz with a new sky!

Be on the look out for beautiful evening skies and sunsets

and keep the photos in your sky folder.

I pretty much replace all my skies in portraits!

You can add drama, or just dreamy color with a new sky.
