I can't shoot whats not there...well, I guess I could photoshop in a different background?

You took out the blue that was there, why not put in the clouds that weren"t

This is true. I was really hoping for some clouds to go with my sunrise but no dice.

Anyhow, It's funny you mention this, I watched a couple youtube videos yesterday while trying to understand masking and I ran across a guy doing this very thing. My question is this, the guy had a folder on just skies. So all he had to do was select the sky that best suited his vision and blended it into the scene. Is this something most people do? If so, how should I save my background scenes? RAW, Jpeg, edited, unedited?

Thanks.

I have seen it done some. I have a few backgrounds that I save and I have saved them as PSD files, so that I didn't have to go back and reset the wb or any adjustments that I did to the raw file, but that's just me. (Probably doing it the hard way again.)

Interesting shot. Consider trying a crop shot closer to the barb wire. thinking the wire would add to the forlorn look.

This is good to know. I've got some cool sky photos from a past vacation but they was shot in Jpeg. I guess this gives me a new reason to get outside with my new camera
