Sunset over Lavaux

Just change the file extension.

@paperdigits Many thanks for your reply.

I have tried to bring some detail into the foreground, without it distracting from the sky.
The colours in the sky I increased the saturation - probably much overdone!

Thank you for the play,

my try with RT GIMP and G’MIC:


(edit: cropped the image, because of the halo in the clouds.)

Hm, something is wrong with the exported image (look at houses and roads):

Wonderful landscape, thanks for sharing
My question with sunsets is always how red was the sky? How can I come close to reality? I think one often tends to overdo things when post-processing images

Beautiful image of a sunrise or sunset. Thank you for sharing.
With RawTherapee 5.8-dev-3049
My process:

  1. I darkened the background mountains with local adjustments because I didn’t like them.
  2. Used Gradient Filter module to lighten the bottom part.
  3. Used Lut Kodak Portra 400 NC 1-

Greetings.

It was quite red, there was a fine break in the clouds just above the mountains. This was the light just before the sun set. That said I think the more muted edits here are more realistic, some are a bit on the flamboyant side.

very pretty area, the landscapes there.

quick and completely overcooked vkdt edit:

spectral input profile, pushed saturation slightly past pain threshold, only moderate log-curve to compress dynamic range, and instead a guided-filter-hand-drawn mask for the foreground (burn) and one for the bright stripe of clouds on top (dodge), since this keeps local contrast more punchy and the separation ground/sky is pretty clear here.

Fantastic picture, beautiful edit… Added a little bit of Dodge in gimp.
What colors… Are these grape vines?

Lavaux is located in the Riviera vaudoise just above Leman Lake on the north bank. Thus the slopes are ideally facing south.
In 2007, Unesco listed Lavaux, a “terraced vineyard facing the lake and the Alps”, as a World Heritage Site.
