For many years I didn’t know how to take great landscape photos under clear skies; if there weren’t clouds in the sky, I would most of the time totally fail at capturing a photo that would make it into my portfolio.
My focus was always on those colorful, dramatic skies that you get when the sun lights up a bunch of clouds around sunrise or sunset.
But many years of taking photos have now taught me that there are scenes that work without clouds; not only work but are best photographed under such conditions. And I’m not only talking about photographing stars, which is certainly one example.
In the following video, I share five more recipes for capturing great photos under clear skies.
