Capturing usable sky detail

Plan exterior and window exposures that retain natural highlight information.

Sky detail depends on weather, direction, time, and exposure. Start with an honest record of the property and the conditions present at capture.

At capture time

  • Watch the histogram and highlight warning in the sky area.
  • Shield the lens from direct flare without entering the frame.
  • Keep an exposure with natural highlight color and texture.

Follow local listing rules for any later authorized improvement, and keep this capture guide separate from product claims.
