Slavonija(LARGE IS BETTER)

Wonderful dramatic sky and landscape :)

Odlicna fotka dragi Samire :):)

Pozdrav,

Biliana

Could some one help me out here? I'm at a loss. Whenever I want to shoot such a scene I face the following dilemma:

1) I want the just behind the clouds for that great colors, contrasty and dramatic clouds and preferably just before sunset or just after for the best colors.

2) I want parts/elements of the middleground/foreground to be lighted directly by the sun to create the contrast between shadowy and lightedparts in the scene for this extra mood and vividness of the scene.

So basically like this image that has both of the elements. however I have either the one or the other. Sun just behind clouds with dramartic colorfull clouds but the foreground is then totally in the shadow and looks dull. Vice versa when I have the sun "between' clouds I have the foreground directly lit but then the sky misses that drama. So for me somehow the one element by definitions excludes the other and vice versa. However I see many iamges that have both... what goes wrong in my logic/mind?

oh btw this iamge is ofcourse stunning and looks great. Even without the "standard" foreground object it makes a great composition and feel of depth.

regards,

Marc
