Winter sunset

Winter sunset by jens_i_r.
When you shoot landscapes you sometimes return from a photo shoot without a single usefull image due to conditions not beeing what you expected. And sometimes one single image saves the day.
One evening in february I went to a location I had not visited before, hoping for a spectacular sunset, but thick clouds rolled in from the ocean and more or less completely blocked the sun. Only occasionally did the sun break through the clouds.
I managed to catch one of these short moments of light, and it made the long drive and the walk in the cold wind worthwhile.(I think this was the time when I decided that I had to pad the upper portion of my tripod legs to avoid freezing my fingers off on the bare metal, even with gloves on)

The location is Mulevika, a remote bay at the end of a desolate road on the island Nerlandsøy, in Herøy, Norway.

Amazing, as usual. How are you accomplishing the dynamic range in these? Waves rolling in seem to rule out normal bracketing. Do you tone map by hand?

@Jason: I use bracketing for most of my landscape shots. The actual blending of the images is mostly done manually, though sometimes I use Photomatix to tone-map the images, but this is usually only useful for parts of the image, so the tone-mapped HDR is usually manually blended with the individual bracketed shots.

What a shot - I know exactly what you mean about the cold. Sometimes you can't feel ur fingers but you just gotta get that shot. But you never really know if they're just OK or good until you see them full screen and give them the PS treatment. Great work.
