Have you ever replaced a sky on an image? Hmmm I have thought about it a few times but never actually done it until now. What do you think about sky replacements? When are they appropriate … or not? This particular image of Slate’s calf take July 2021 near Gabriola Island was a wonderful encounter with over 20 breaches on that fabulous day. But the sky was dull. So can I turn it into art and change the sky to something I like better? More vibrant perhaps? Or should we save sky replacements for when they actually represent what we saw in the moment? Or both? A few things to think about on a potentially touchy subject.
Regardless, long live Slate and her wonderful calf and thank you for the memories … sky or no sky.
