The Sky’s the Limit
The Sky’s the Limit, normally it does not work to take photos with a clear blue sky background. Most photographers like to have some clouds or something in the background. But, depending on the subject, I kind of like the blue background. It can really highlight the subject like a bird.
The first two photos are similar in color with two different birds, grayish birds on a gray post. Photographed in two different areas. I thought it was interesting how they look similar. The first bird is a Curved billed thrasher and the second one is a Mocking Bird.
Plus photographing birds in flight against a blue sky can bring out the detail in the feathers in flight at the right angle.

Thank you very much Mr. Ohh 😊
Very welcome 😀
These pictures are lovely!
Thank you very much 😊
I definitely prefer a bit of texture in the sky/background, but you are correct, a basic blue backdrop will get you nice detail in the bird and does force the viewers eye to where you want it. I really like how the tones in the birds mimic those in the post.
Beautiful – I like the sky when is clear as a bell and I think it does highlight the bird more. Sky does not even look real because it is flawless.
I think so also Linda..😊
Wonderful. Guys do check my blog on the midnight run
The underside of the hawk is grandly illuminated, the yellow plumage goes well against the sky. Great shots!
Thank you very much 😊
I love a blue sky background. And birds . 😍
Thank you, I do to, it goes really well especially with gray birds. 😊
you are right on the blue sky as a background. The details are sharp and the photographed object stands out perfectly against the sky.
Thank you very much 😊

I think the shades of blue are perfect contrast😁
Thank you, I do like blue backgrounds, especially with a subject like these where they don’t have a lot of color. 🙂
Love the blue background, Sandra. Thank you. It has been said that blue is God’s favorite color. Blue evokes peace and tranquility. I associate blue with God’s mercy. Blessings
Yes, it is my favorite color, I feel peace when sitting out in nature or even in my backyard and the sky is nothing but blue. It could not be a more perfect color for the sky.
Wonderful !
Thanks Sandra, have a nice day
You to Francine, thank you 🙂
Perfect backdrop for the birds.
Thank you, it goes well with the gray birds. 🙂
Goes well with the gray birds 🙂
👌👌👌📷🌹 No.:2 is top
Thank you very much 😊
The blue sky is such a blessing to us photographers with no diffused back-lighting Sandra, and you have some beautiful pics to prove. I was only saying to my wife yesterday how lovely blue a winter sky is, without the summer haze.
Yes, only in the winter do you see such a beautiful blue. 😊
Do you overexpose when shooting into the blue sky? I love your in flight pair
Under expose normally by 1 or 2 stops if possible. Just to keep the nice blue color and depending on the subject of flying or still.
splendides compos avec ciel bleu
bonne journée
Thank you very much Patrick 😊
For me, the blue sky is perfect and gives a nice contrast with the bird.
I think so also, especially when it looks so blue, sometimes clouds are to much with birds in flight.
Good photos and blue sky gives you a feeling of wellbeing.
Yes, I agree, there is just something about the color blue. 😊
Yes, full of hopes.
