When we’re not getting much sunshine at this time of year, it may seem ridiculous to say blue skies on sunny days are a problem for landscape photography. Sometimes, however, these scenes with clear blue skies can look a bit bland and need a boost.
I’d used a polarizing filter for these shots of Red Rock Canyon near Las Vegas, so the skies became this incredible deep blue. While I’m happy with vibrant results, and the Red Rock mountains have a richer quality in shot, these sorts of color landscapes are also perfect for a black-and-white conversion.
