Dark ominous clouds can be used
to evoke emotion in our viewers. By
manually controlling the exposure, you
can deliberately underexpose them to add
even more drama. Another option is to
use a graduated neutral density filter to
darken the sky by two, three, or four stops.
Working this way gives you the ability to
craft your own reality. The actual sky may
not be this dark, but as the artist, you have
final say over how it will appear.
