SHORT DESCRIPTION
AK, I am not sure whether this is a fair comment. I guess this is not observed very often in Singapore, but in the Alps there are some very clear days when the sky appears extraordinarily dark and saturated. I am sure that Wolfgang is experienced enough to set the brightness according to the conditions he experienced. --DXR (talk) 15:40, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@DXR: Haha no. No such thing in Singapore. Our skies are never clear btw. Even when there appears to be a clear blue sky, there is definitely a layer of clouds high up in the sky, probably cirrostratus, as the airport METAR will report "BKN300" (broken clouds at a height of 30000ft/9144m). This probably explains why sometimes skies in photos taken in other parts of the world on a really clear day seems too blue to me. But of courae I still support those photos. And based on your comment above, I've striked my oppose and support. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 15:54, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I think AK is correct. While I can accept the polarised sky the whole image is still a bit underexposed. That aside, there is a big spot in the sky (upper left - see note) perhaps a flare? Saffron Blaze (talk) 17:13, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Info I fixed the sky with a new upper crop. I am afraid that there is confusion in the terms underexposed and dark. There are no lossed lights in the picture which has a high dynamic range (contrast) due to the light conditions up on 3000 m. elevation with lots of sun and snow. The light conditions of the image are the same as those of the mountain I have skied these days. --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 17:51, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
