How to get the dramatic sky in a photo shoot outdoors?
I'm doing a photo shoot morning around 14:00 and 17:00 (Not too sunny) and wanted to know how I can get great dramatic sky behind my model? the team I have: – Nikon D300 – Nikon SB-900 x 2 – 50mm Nikkor AF-S lens – Nikkor 18-200mm VR Lens – large reflector – Lastolite Ezybox Thanks in advance for your opinion.
First, talk to God and to arrange for the sky perfect … Ok, seriously though somewhat at the mercy of what the day you give. Some things that can help carry out a drama in the sky would be a polarizer or filter yellow. Yellow filter blocks blue that darkens the sky. Of course, everything is yellow so it works better with black and white images. The polarizer is reduced glare and darken the sky sometime. It also gives a more small clouds. Anything you can do is set a little low exposure and use the flash to compensate for the difference in the subject. In short, it will create more contrast between the background and the subject with his enlightenment. In this way you can work with a sky featureless or one that has a natural drama.
