Skies Alive
It never ceases to amaze me how the clouds / skies change so swiftly and completely change the interest and atmosphere of the scenery.
For me, a sunrise or sunset without clouds is not as interesting as one where there is ‘weather’.
Settings and Approach
As for landscape photography, though in this instance, for dramatic sunsets, I am deliberately shooting into the sun, and my adjust the exposure compensation accordingly (to -2 for example).
I spent around six weeks in Canillas de Aceituno, near Malaga in Spain, in 2023 / 2024. Every day I took the camera out at sunset and was completely spoiled by the skies. Beautiful.
