      I really like the side lighting and the long shadows. You also caught a great mix of clouds in the sky.

      Nice, rich tones on the hillside, well complimented by the diminishing detail in the distance.

      Wow, this is so awesome! How many, and what strength GND's did you use? I keep a 0.6 in my bag all the time, just in case ... sometimes I do wish I had another 0.6, or a 0.9 GND though. This photo should be explored :)
      Sorry I did not reply to your PM! I've been busy with many things recently. Normally, I need to head home straight from UCB on weekdays. Some weekend I would love to set up a time to meet you, and shoot!

      You perfectly managed to tame the tough light to a magnificent composition. Definitively a keeper.

      absolutely love this! i've ordered some filters, so soon i'll be attempting to venture into lands you seem to already have mastered!

    37. LifeLover4 (3 months ago | reply)

      You are too kind! I'm just getting started. Much of the exposure work was done in PS and LR3 in post. I'll be looking for a harder gradient set, they would work better for horizons.
