Agree with this. Meter for the sky and then add fill flash. You probably have to reduce the flash exposure down to -1 or -2. Nick

Try using a ND grad filter or a good polarizer filter, although you can rescue some of it in PS but your better off getting it at capture.

In this photo not only is the sky bright, but I have deliberately placed the subject in solid shade so that he doesn't have to look into brightness and get all squinty. A polarizing filter helped darken the blue sky, but basically I just set…

Save the money you'd spend on gadgets, like gimicky filters and spend it on education.

Forget about Photoshop! Pretend it doesn't exist and that all you have to work with is film so you have to get it right in the initial exposure then look at the suggestions given here. Some are very good. If you do it right in the camera…

Hi Jas, you should be first of all using a grey card to nail the white balance, try not to rely too much on auto.. Try moving the subject around, if the bg is not what you wanted then come back at a different time of day when sun is in a another…
