I have a question regarding blue skies... I have a shoot coming up where the client has requested deep blue skies, and high contrast, white clouds as backdrops. Colouring and saturation to look very much like the shots that on this site link that Peter Weimann posted... (beautiful photography here, btw...)
http://home.fotocommunity.de/weimann/index.php?id=31851&g=28995&s=12 My question is this: What is the best way to achieve this effect? Even with using polarizers, I have never been able to achieve such a deep blue colour. All of mine are generally leaning toward the cyan range of blue rather than, true blue. Like for example, in this shot: http://www.tanyamayer.com/fairmaidens/lexi1.jpg Is it likely that this type of shot really needs PS'ing to make the sky look so deep blue in colour? Should I try using a graduated filter of some sort? My wedding tomorrow is on the beach, so I am going to do some stuff with a polarizer to see what I come up with, but I won't hold my breath. I will be completing the shoot (not the wedding, but the one where the client has requested the blue skies etc) digitally, so I would also love to know if anyone else has had any success achieving this result digitally? TIA, tan.
