17-55mm at 24mm, 1/30, f/16, ISO 400 I had to burn in the sky a bit. I've been having trouble exposing during the evening since the ground's so dark and I end up completely blowing out the sky.

Use the blank sky to enhance that feel. Work with what nature gives you and you'll almost always get something of quality.

Jan 09, 2009 17:16 | #4 ^ yeah, I boosted saturation and vibrance slightly. Didn't realize I could saturate a specific color, thanks for pointing that out. gregpphoto wrote: A cloudless sky, combined with the soft and beautiful hills, is the perfect time to experiment with "openness."

It's all about finding something that works at the time and place you find yourself in.
