Hi /p/

My skies usually show up somewhat boring and washed out.

How can I get animu-like rich blue skies, similar to the one in the picture? What light conditions or time of the day?

Sorry I couldn't find a better example of this, I've seen a better picture of what I'm trying to say. Source of picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/richlegg/2106397314/

PS, the picture isn't mine. Please don't hang me.

Yes. Some quality CP will make a big difference.

Okay, thanks, /p/hags. I have a mission now.
(been too lazy to carry around my CP since I usually am/shoot indoors, so it's often counterproductive due to light loss.) I'll go out and take some pics. Later.

how does a CP make your skies bluer

don't you need a ND filter for that

ND filter does nothing of the sort. It increases exposure time and nothing more. A graduated ND filter, on the other hand, could help by reducing the amount of sky light while keeping the same amount of non-sky light that reaches the camera.

But a CP is your best bet.

By being a polarizer. That's pretty much their primary purpose. Go read up on 'em. Google is your friend.

they cut down non metallic reflections

don't see how that affects the sky

No, don't repeat what you've heard about polarizers. Go actually read up on what they do.

Basically, light waves all have a specific orientation. So some might be going up and down, others left and right, etc. What a polarizer does is it cuts out the light that doesn't have a specific polarization.

Reflective surfaces tend to polarize the light one way, so when you block out light in that polarization, you lose the reflections. Additionally, when you're angled appropriately from the sun, the light in the sky that's coming towards you will be primarily of one polarization, so a polarizing filter will cut out a huge amount of light in the sky, which'll give you a deeper, darker, more saturated blue.

In Photoshop you could make the sky any colour you want without much effort, whereas using a polarizer will bring the nice blue sky effect to your picture, and make you feel good for actually making the picture look nice without relying on Photoshop.

I'm dealing with a back injury and have no friends to speak of in this state. I honestly have nothing better to do. And yes, I realize how pathetic that is.

have you considered autofellation

or is that how you got the back injury in the first place

At least you are not alone. On 4chan we are all huge nerds.

Close. Yoga.

If I ever do get flexible enough to fellate myself, you'll know it because I'll never be here again.
