One of the trickiest and most frustrating aspects of landscape photography is that you do not get any control over the conditions, and when the weather refuses to cooperate and you get boring skies, it can be challenging to create worthwhile photos. Challenging does not mean impossible, though. If you know how to work with it, a dull sky can still give you great images. This helpful video tutorial will show you how to do just that.
Coming to you from Walks On The Wild Side, this great video tutorial will show you how to create compelling landscape photos when dealing with boring skies. No doubt, a flat, lifeless sky can be quite frustrating, but that does not mean you should pack up your gear and head home. When dealing with such situations, I find that simply turning my camera downward a bit makes all the difference.

Check out the video above for the full rundown.
