You are so right - and nothing I can do about it now - that sky is just flat white. Well, it wasn't one of my three best sign photos - but I thought someone might get a chuckle. It was just a snapshot taken with an S45, but I wonder if raw mode would have given me more to work with. - Walt

Haha, I knew that learning French at school would pay off some day! Very funny capture, in terms of the (*) the dreaded white sky has happened, I always forget the technical name for it but basically needed to expose differently / take two exposures and merge. Not always easy and happens to everyone I think (well it always seems to me!). LOL award so far for me.
