Polarizer and dimmer (i.e. gray mirror) or gradient gray mirror are good helpers. The former can remove stray light, keep the color of the photo high concentration, and can make the clouds in the sky more stereoscopic. The latter can reduce the light entering and avoid overexposure when the light is strongest.

Because color is one of the most important elements in shooting blue sky and white clouds, we must master the accurate color of photos, so we need to pay attention to color temperature when shooting. In general, the preset "Sunlight" white balance in the digital single mirror reflector can reflect the color close to the real scene, and reflect the color of blue sky and white clouds.
3、 Downlight shooting
Choose the right time and direction for taking photos. The best way to shoot is to shoot in the same direction as the camera. For example, if the sun is in the East, it should be photographed in the West. Because the subject is directly illuminated by the sun, the shadow will be behind the object, so the picture is often relatively bright. But pay attention to the downlight shooting, the shadow of the photographer is also easy to be photographed, because we should pay more attention to it.
