    Well done - great foreground details. Nicely exposed.

    Very impressive! What tecnique did you use to not blow out the sky, but still keep the details in the foreground from becoming underexposed?

    In ACR or whatever RAW converter you use, concentrate on the sky and tweak it just the way you want it to look and just ignore the foreground for now and then open that in Photoshop.....then do the same thing in ACR but this time forget the sky and tweak for the foreground only and then open that in Photoshop. Put one image over the other as a layer. Then pop on a layer mask to the top layer. Use a black to white linear gradient and pull it down over the top layer holding down the shift key as you pull (this keeps the line straight).......pull the line down as many times as it takes to get a perfect blend. I usually pull it down a good deal below where the sky meets the foreground......then......on the gradient itself put Filter > add noise > 2. Hit ok. Gets rid of any banding in the gradient.

    After that post-process as you would any image to get it looking the way you would like.

    Great as always, Tom. I've enjoyed this series at dslr, though I must say the color adds a lot to it. Don't get me wrong - your B&W conversions are awesome, but for this sort of subject, color really helps. In B&W, these shots are drab... The colors just add that extra interest that is lacking in the B&Ws.
