Simply make a point to take photographs whenever you think the sky looks particularly beautiful. There is no need to search for (and then purchase) stock photos to do this. To create a sky overlay, it is as simple as taking a photograph of a beautiful sky.
I’ll show you, step by step, how to create your own sky overlays and then use them when needed in your images. The fact is, you’ll often have very little control over the weather when you decide to take a few photos, and if you are a professional photographer, then you will need to adhere to the appointments that you have set up no matter what the sky looks like.įortunately, sky overlays are easy to use, and they are even easier to create. No matter what type of photography you enjoy - portraiture, landscapes, architectural photography, or any genre - sky overlays will help you to correct those dull, flat skies that so often occur in day-to-day photography.
Once you move on from basic photography skills and into more advanced techniques, you’ll find that few things are so useful as sky overlays.
