Blue Sky


I took this photo earlier this week. My little sister and cousin came over for a couple of days because they were on their Spring Break. While we were eating lunch, I looked out of the window and saw the beautiful blue sky with lots of puffy clouds. I just had to take a photo of the view. The girl in the photo is my cousin who was looking out the window.

Ever since that day, the weather has been getting better & better.... Enjoy your weekend!

Define Sky :
1. The expanse of air over any given point on the earth; the upper atmosphere as seen from the earth's surface.
2. The appearance of the upper atmosphere, especially with reference to weather. Often used in the plural: Threatening skies portend a storm.
3. The celestial regions; the heavens: stars in the southern sky.
4. The highest level or degree: reaching for the sky.


The Meaning of the Color Blue:
Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. It symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.

Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body. It slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect. Blue is strongly associated with tranquility and calmness. In heraldry, blue is used to symbolize piety and sincerity.

You can use blue to promote products and services related to cleanliness (water purification filters, cleaning liquids, vodka), air and sky (airlines, airports, air conditioners), water and sea (sea voyages, mineral water). As opposed to emotionally warm colors like red, orange, and yellow; blue is linked to consciousness and intellect. Use blue to suggest precision when promoting high-tech products.

Blue is a masculine color; according to studies, it is highly accepted among males. Dark blue is associated with depth, expertise, and stability; it is a preferred color for corporate America.

Avoid using blue when promoting food and cooking, because blue suppresses appetite. When used together with warm colors like yellow or red, blue can create high-impact, vibrant designs; for example, blue-yellow-red is a perfect color scheme for a superhero.

Light blue is associated with health, healing, tranquility, understanding, and softness.
Dark blue represents knowledge, power, integrity, and seriousness.

Congrats on your hobby and blog. Photography can be an obsession so enjoy it.

well done on the composition. I'd consider adjusting the shadow areas around your sister to bring out more detail in her.

Dunno what you're using to process and shoot, but I do suggest if you're not doing so already to shoot in raw and use a program like Adobe Lightroom to process the images.
