Misty Sunset near Cathcart

I love the light and atmosphere here. Not so happy with the framing - my excuse is that it was shot from a moving vehicle… Near Cathcart, NSW, Australia.
As always, I’d love to see different takes on this!

Nice shot, no need for an excuse :smiley:
I went for a more panorama like crop and played a bit with the color calibration module in DT.

A great photograph! My play in GIMP. Local adjustments to brightness, contrast and saturation to emphasise the mistiness and the colours in the sky, but mainly cropped to create a more panoramic aspect.

I see everybody chose the same crop, not very happy with the Highlights but this is a nice fog !

I should have kept it warmer like you did though, it gives more the feeling of the light passing through

I rather like the framing. My try in dt 4.2.1

Beautiful shot, car window or no! :smiley: I love the “layer cake”, with the four areas of dark to light and dull to bright, bottom to top.

My challenge was to bring up the foreground a bit and add some chroma to the mist, while keeping it (hopefully) realistic. I cropped off the bottom and top to even the composition a bit.

Excellent picture, I have the same camera. Here is my attempt. The issue I always have with these type of sunset shots: How much HDR tone mapping to apply.

Here is my take. I have come to like the Sigmoid module for sunrises and sunsets. I feel the module is more faithful to the colors of the sunset. I wanted to bring out the farm in my image so I used two instances of shadow highlights softened with the bilateral filter to minimise artefacts.

And one in ART. Prefer it over my DT edit, especially the sky.

Just for fun ran @Ulrich_Gesing 's Initialworkflow script… It sets the tone eq mask so I pulled it up a bit… So basically zero interaction from me except the tone eq and you get this …
