This image was photographed at sunrise, which added color to the sky and a beautiful reflection on the water.
If you ask me, the presence of clouds can always improve a landscape image, whether they’re cute and fluffy or dark and stormy (Figure 5.13). During the golden hour, sunlight can reflect off the clouds, producing amazing color combinations that you would not see during the middle of the day. But be prepared—sometimes these color changes take place in a matter of minutes, so be ready to press that Shutter button!
ISO 100 HDR: 1/30, 1/15, and 1/8 sec. f/4 24–105mm lens
FIGURE 5.13 The presence of clouds, like those in this sunset photo, can transform an ordinary scene into an extraordinary one.
