so not really sure where this should go....
the question is, does altitude affect how blue a sky appears on film.
i recently got back some film i shot at Yosemite (in may ... cough cough lazy)
and all the skys are really not so blue. I shoot with a polarizer and generally aim my shots 90 degrees to the sun to get the most effect. additionally i was using velvia which tends to over saturate colors.
maybe it was one roll you say, or just that day. However a friend of mine who is also a photographer was in yosemite a while ago and also had the same problem. almost all of his skys were washed out. (both of us never had trouble with this sort of stuff at lower altitudes)
all of the shots with washed out skys were at 9,000 feet or higher.
is this just a fluke or has anyone heard of this? and if so, is there a way to correct?
i dont use a UV filter when i have a polarizer on...if that matters
