"The same sky can look completely different when you are there at different times," Wonisch said. "Usually the golden hour around sunrise and sunset works best for photographing."
Wonisch works as a physicist in Germany specializing in computer simulations. But in his spare time, he shoots landscape and skyscape shots, which are two of his biggest passions. (His photo, above, was taken in Iceland.)
"It's my way of experiencing the world in a different, more intimate and emotional way," he added. "I've loved nature since childhood, but I only became really interested in photography when I moved to southern Germany near the beautiful Black Forest."
Follow the directions below to submit your photos by Monday, Oct. 28, at 12 p.m. ET. Wonisch's favorite submissions will be featured on Mashable, as well as on our Facebook album, Pinterest board and Google+ page.
"The most successful skyscape photos create a certain depth that almost makes you experience the photo almost like it was in 3D," he said. "Also keep in mind that while you should include a lot of sky in your photos, the best images usually also involve some of the landscape to give context."

A great photo has an interesting foreground as well as a beautiful background.
When guest curator Andreas Wonisch shoots skyscape photos, he makes sure to include part of the landscape as well. "It works wonders to show something interesting in the foreground to lead into the rest of the image."
