Tip #52: Bluer Skies

In the previous tip, I used a software filter to really make the sky turn blue. Is there an in-camera solution that will also cause the sky to be a bluer blue? Well, as it turns out there is a solution.

To get bluer skies, look for a camera setting, called exposure control. It will either be a button on a DSLR or maybe a menu setting on a point-and-shoot. Just set the exposure control to -1 and take your normal outdoor shots. The results should be a pleasing, richer blue-sky photo. Then, if you really want to, you can use the skylight filter that I used in yesterday's tip.
