This is a scene from Lucas Creek, in Albany, Auckland. It's a few minutes from where I work, so I made a diversion on the way to work to stop here. I've used an ND3 grad to reduce the brightness of the sky in the top of the scene. A Lee Big Stopper was used to slow the exposure.
I did apply a light vignette to the edges to draw more attention to...
