Lesson 13. Sunset, Hawaii

This image has such a big problem that after using The System, I still had to cheat and borrow a sky from another shot taken in the same location about 30 minutes later. I generally don’t like to composite two images like this, but if really desperate (like I was here), I will do it, even though it feels a little like cheating to me (even though I took both shots myself, and they’re both taken in the same location during the same shoot). But, if you wind up in a similar situation, at least you’ll know what to do, eh?
