I love the look of your skies in these, and others. Do you meter the clouds? Do you use a filter on your lens?

Thanks for your kind comments Zulu.

Skies here are either overcast or featureless blue. Low puffy clouds are rare so when that happens I try to get out, even at the expense of more favourable light. Camera this time was a p&s Pentax IQ left to make it's own decisions. Sometimes I hand hold a yellow filter in front, not this roll. Seems that I can never get the sky just right. HP5 is forgiving but often grainy at least for me anyway which shows most in the sky. Adjustments in PS as well as some Silver efex fiddly bits help.

Just almost through a roll in a Minolta X370, also on auto. Used a K2 and set the ASA at 350, perhaps not enough difference for HP5's latitude. Same cloud patterns almost. Results to follow.
