Please do not waste your points on this!!

I am posting this not because I want kudos, but because I really need help!
I took these photos at a fundraiser at Buttonville Airport (a small private local airport) and I thought it would be fun to make a collage of a few of them.
But I have done something really WRONG!
They were taken over the period of about 4 hours, so the light conditions did change, and they were at different points in the sky, so the sky colour changed. But I have NO idea how to fix the problem.

Tech: shot in RAW, converted to jpg, etc

Any help you can offer would be appreciated, but PLEASE do not waste your valuable smileys on this!

I may repost later if you all can help me figure this one out.

Thanks and have a wonderful day.

Hello Silke,

I cannot help you with a workshop, but why trying to change the colors of the sky ? If these are the natural colors, I don't see a problem. It's normal colors are changing in 4 hours...

regards,

Luc.

Hi Silke..
I will take a stab at it after homework is done!

:)

I can't help - but Tricia's changes are great!! Sounds so simple - I MUST learn how to use Photoshop...
Super collage Silke - BRAVO on all of them...
My points are for them!
Janice

Hi Silke,
Nice capture. Tricia has the right answer for what you would like to do. I just learned, a week ago, how to use it. But I like it even with different tint of blue. TFS
Greetings
Pierre

PS: I hope it is all over with the J..A..

Hello Silke,

Greetings.

Why???? I have to agree with Linda on this.
The different sky colors makes a lot of difference on this.
And very good captures.

Hola amiga,
bellos collages,
interesantes momentos,
buenos workshop.
saludos Silke
me agrada estos momentos cerca del cielo :)

hi silke, its not wrong to keep shooting, digital=free!
here are your choices the way i see it, photoshop the heck out of the "wrong time of day shots", and keep the best of the good light shots,
however........i shot slides for years on pro film, there is no subsitute for good light if you ask me, photoshop is fun and amazing but i am of the notion "make it right in the camera before you get to a computer" on this day i would of kept 2 images maybe 3 out of a 100 or so, i only keep the best,
i know you dont want points but you know what you have an interesing posting and i love it when people ask for help, because when i do its suprizing how few actually respond to my questions, anywyas take care, scott

For what you said... I enjoy it like that you know! I consider Tricia give you what you need.
So i will give your point cause i find it very well. Yes the condition change in 4 hours. But it's not just that... Even change the focus and angle of your camera can make difference i presume. This is why we see gradient effect in a wonderfull blue sky... Different level of blue :)
It's well assembled! Good work!

Hey Silke
Very nice composition you made. Just posted the workshop. It is very nice what Tricia did but way toooooo much work. So that why I did this different and it took me only like five minutes. If you spend 20 mininute on it... it will look perfect.
Cheers
David

Hi Silke,
Somehow my critique vanished (forget to add Add no doubt).
But never mind like Tricia (she can do much more sky-wise) and Shelbeesmom (who made a fun-collage) I also tried to add to the ideas given to you.
Thanks for giving me a bit of homework - love that.
Have a nice day,
Els

Hi Silke,

I love the individual picture . . Lovely composed of all pictures in a frame. . Tricia has done a great PP work . . I learn one thing here to do the work . .
Great idea of capturing these pictures and presented at once . .
Well done . .

Tfs,
Tjutjut

Many thanks for your kind words on My Watch.

:-)) it will be in 2 hours

Hi Silke,
No, I do give you points....:-) You know this is a great composition of superb parajump pictures. OK, it's easy to re-arrange these on brightsness (is that an idea?) without messing up with sky changing which isn't necessary in my opinion. Anyway I like this compoistion!

Hans

Hi Silke,
All I can think of is to adjust white balance in your RAW converter and later play with curves on blue and maybe even adding cyan or yellow to some photos. Masking might be needed to contain the color of the parachutes.
I hope this helps.

Why is it a problem?? That is understood! I LIKE the different light combos, it helps separate the collage into sections even better! Trying to make it all match would make it all look the same, therefore why not post ONE shot, instead of all. After all, a collage is a conglomeration of MANY different shots!
I say, you did just great!
