Oct 12, 2008 12:58 | #9 AWB... I was just surprised on how "blue" the sky got, and before I left home I was wishing I have a cpl for this lens. Ok, I feel better and $tup*d now 6D l 35L l 85L l 100L l 135L l 24-70L l 70-200 F/4 IS l 70-200 2.8 II l 15MM FE

Oct 12, 2008 14:07 | #12 ^^ Funny, how I freaked out on having a natural blue sky (just found out from you guys)... because normally my problem is having a washed out ones. Prague is a great place, been here for a year and just now started exploring the place. And since I am considering a job offer in Baghdad... it's like "I have to go out and see places before I leave!" And I have to hold any body/glass upgrade for me because of the restrictions on taking photos over there... enjoy your 5d MKII, hopefully I'll have one in the near future. 6D l 35L l 85L l 100L l 135L l 24-70L l 70-200 F/4 IS l 70-200 2.8 II l 15MM FE

histogram doesn't say underexpose though...
I've never seen a castle in real life. Looks like an incredible destination. Your sky looks fine on my LCD monitor. If it was consistantly an issue with me I'd just create an import preset with a slight de-saturation in the blue channel. I don't have a haze filter so most of my skies are washed out. (unless I use HDR with bracket exposures of course... my only cure). Looks like the new 50D does a good job at balanced exposures. Much more-so than my XSI. I've pre-ordered the 5Dii and acquired a multi-coated 77mm CPL so I'm looking forward to my sky problems being a thing of the past.
