U need to wait for a day with clear blue sky. In m'sia, its hard but not impossible to happen.

this 1 considered blue? no editting

if u wanna show d sky, it's ok if the building's under. try using a cpl too

Blue skies in Munich, Germany. Straight from the camera. No PP.

Basically you need to be at the right place and at the right time. And the right weather conditions too.

Is this consider blue sky?

set EV to -2 you will see the blue sky.

Hmmm, get yourself a circular polarizer, or for some added effect, a graduated blue filter. but still the main catch is make sure that the sky is blue lo, it was very clear a few days back, now its not, i think you have to wait for another 1 or 2 weeks only u can see a blue sky again

for the blue sky only perhaps..

actually penang can get blue sky easily compare to other state like KL... usually it will be at noon or morning. probably it is because we r living in the island

IMO, i'll consider the sky is blue when it has sun ( hot sun )...not when the sky is turning dark at 7, 8pm...or early morning.

just my 2cent

in the US, i got bblue skies! it wasn't from a slr... from ixus 500
show u guys late.r

Yeah, I'd have to agree with most of the replies above. You must have clear skies in the beginning. Using a polarising filter will only make a blue sky bluer but can never turn an overcast or foggy sky blue.



Taking a photo with the sun shining at your direction will be guaranteed to ruin that clear sky shot:




You can cheat at this if you're good at Photoshop though...

Thanks for the tip. Just for fun I snap this pics around 6pm.

here...taken by me in the morning with a 3mp PNS.





actually has more blue sky pic in Malaysia..but lazy to upload...so this is just 2 exampels that i can get from my online album..and it is quite outdated

Still can get blue sky, even when dusk is approaching. This picture taken around 7-15pm - 7.20 pm.

try to use CPL filter to get the sky become blue
but sometimes will make the pic become so fake oso

London sky very nice too . Happen at the Right Time right Place. 11.xx am , Buckingham Palace.
