As you will know from some of my recent posts I've been swotting up on digital manipulation techniques. I have currently raided the local libary for books on the subject (and photography in general) and one of the tips was on that on sunny days with lovely blue skies you should take lots to get a few skies "in the bank". An interesting concept! I then remebered a series of photos that I took a couple of summers ago of some fields of poppies but was disappointed by the pics as the sky was too grey. So I set to work finding a better sky to see what I could do. The process and results are below plus a few other alternatives!
very nice! I personally think that when your doing digital manipulation. It becomes art/computer illustration instead of photography. I do love to play with that though.
Your results are very good. I happen to like the red field under the b&w sky. It's hard to know what to believe in modern fotography. News photographers have to be very careful when making any sort of corrections to photos.
