Like today we have a beautiful winter morning here, just a little bit below the freezing point, empty streets, sun is out and lays low on the horizon (basically the "golden hour" all day long). I took a few shots but I'm not satisfied with the settings. Its either streets appear well lid, while sky is almost white. Or sky is blue, but streets are all dark. Silly question, but how do I make the blue skies blue, and keep the streets well lid?
