How would I take photo where sky's are deep blue?

Also, how would I make photos where you use like glow sticks in the dark and you can form like patterns? Where would the focus be at in the dark?

For dark skies you need to look at buying a circular polariser and or a graduated neutral density filter. Have a look at Lee filters or Cokin "P" series filters.

also for dark skies, you need to underexpose the sky. tilt the camera up till there's nothing but the sky in the viewfinder and underexpose it. long and dark exposures are where you will be able to use some glowsticks. you just have to play around with the settings to get it right. good luck

Tight f/stops [Ie: f/16-22] and a tripod. (or a lot of light for portraits) ;)

Long exposures at night time waving a glow stick around will do it. Takes a lkot of practice.
