There was a point in my photo journey where it seemed so many of my photos contained a massive chunk of sky. It’s fine occasionally, but too much of anything becomes noticeable. It’s a bit more difficult to avoid this in Santa Monica as I spend a considerable amount of time on or near the beach with very few tall buildings. The sky is always present. My way to work around this is to just point down a bit. Works like a charm. Looking at my timeline in Flickr, I’m happy with the way things are going.
