As part of my landscape theme, I tried to photograph the sky whilst it was really bright and colourful.
The colour has shown up really well, the sky looks bold in most of the pictures, making the range of colours stand out a lot. The problem with this was that the rest of the surroundings were really dark, which meant I had to brighten everything up when making the exposure. I had to use a high ISO to compensate for the darkness, which made the photographs grainy. As well as that, I found it difficult to focus on the horizon with it being so far away; in most of the photographs, the sky is in focus and the horizon is slightly blurry, it's more apparent in the ones with trees.
I'd definitely like to shoot similar things, I think it went well for a first attempt. In future I'd use a tripod, so I can use longer shutter speeds and lower ISOs (getting rid of the graininess in the photographs)
