My decision to sandwich in another sky from a different photograph was the right one. There is a real potential that the 2 won’t gel. I had a bit of a wrestling match with this and its not quite there yet but the risk was worth taking. The bottom right of the sky has not photographed well, it is quite reflective. The one thing I am trying to avoid is making pretty pictures, the landscape here is beautiful, but it also has a toughness to it, it can be wild and bleak. I am trying to give these pictures a worked and tough quality, not just for the sake of it, but as a result of trying to carve out the landscape as I see it.
