Sky

Cloud Pillows, a photo by corinne.schwarz on Flickr.

I've always wanted to have a focus for my work... a style of my own. But, I've never been able to think of something I wanted to make a photo project of.

I had considered doing "barns" or "abandoned houses", but for one, everyone else does that. Two, there are only so many barns and old houses, so I'd have to travel to find things, eventually.

Little did I know, my "thing" was catching up with me. After my first few cool sky shots, I started going for more... and now I find that it's the thing I love to photograph the most.

I find that exposing for the sky, and leaving the foreground dark, works best. If you shoot RAW you can easily add a graduated filter to the dark foreground and PRESTO! Awesome pictures.
