Silhouettes

If the sky lacks punch, change the white balance setting to Cloudy or Shade – either in-camera or later when you‘re converting your RAW files.

Crisp, clear days are often followed by dusk skies ablaze with color. To make the most of this richness, look for a clearly defined subject to place in front of it.

Take a meter reading from an area of the sky that‘s not too bright or dark, lock the exposure in and recompose to include the subject. It‘ll be rendered as a silhouette against a saturated sky.

Don‘t worry about clipped shadows on the exposure histogram – you don‘t want to record detail in the subject.
