How to get a cool natural lighted sky

This instructable is here to teach you how to get a really cool colored natural lighted sky for any type of photo whether this is for a landscape, flora/ fauna, or portrait photo.

Step 1 Items/ Supplies needed

Obviously, you'll need a camera. Digital cameras work best, I was told that this technique will work with any camera. I use an SLR. SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex, the type I used for this photo was a Nikon D40. If you are taking a portrait photo, you will need a camera with a flash, or a separate flash attachment. You shouldn't need a tripod, but if you like using it feel free to. You'll also need a little practice, patience, and time. This image isn't mine because I cannot take a picture of my camera....with...the camera.

I have taken a few good pictures like this one on accident. Next time I will have to try this on purpose. Thanks for the tips :)
