Yes... that is a blue sky in Scotland.

I don't know whether to say "Great shot" or "Liar, Liar, pants on fire!"

I would have suggested you use Concorde, cos you'll need to be quick to see that in Scotland, but unfortunately she no longer flies.

EXIF says 50mm so I deduct it was the femme fatale at work encore. Makes a really lovely contrast w/ the rare blue ceiling. Tack sharp per usual.

In this case you are right, "Femme Fatale" rides again, not to be confused with my other 50mm... "Special Lady".

That is a lovely image and not having seen a blue sky here in the last 4 days or so tells me that there is hope.

Nahhhh.... No way! You used a blue sky mask!

A Scotland filter!

It seems like months here sometimes without blue skies... not just a few days.

It had to be real... the EXIF file reports an Exposure Time of 1/200s (0.0050), an Aperture of F/8.0 @ ISO 100.

When did you get that much light when you were here earlier in the year.

Maybe I could make money selling a preset to give that sky to Scottish scenes.
