This is almost the straight out of camera shot. I have only adjusted the highlight and shadow a little bit and the blue cast is due to the Lee Big Stopper which I used for the long exposure.

Milford Sound, Fiordland National Park, New Zealand.

A vertical composition of a previously uploaded image.

I planned 3 days at Milford Sound as I have heard it is one of the wettest places on earth with 8000mm of rainfall per year and that the peaks were obscured by clouds most of the time.
As it turned out all 3 of my days there were completely blue skies and clear nights, except for this small group of clouds that showed up just as the sunset on my second day there. Then the clouds disappeared as quickly as they came.

Please view on a black background.

3 exposures were blended for dynamic range in this scene.

The Alps are one of the great mountain range systems of Europe stretching approximately 1,200 kilometres across eight Alpine countries from Austria and Slovenia in the east, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, and France to the west, and Italy and Monaco to the south. The mountains were formed over tens of millions of years as the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided.

Mother nature as it’s finest, with an ” island of civilisation in the sky ” ! as Nathaniel Merz said .. what an epic fairy tale view !

Hi everyone, I am glad to introduce one of my favourite shot I have ever take, the last light or Heaven light or you can choose any title for it as whats come to your mind at the first time when you see it .. This magical rare moment happened last year in Abudhabi the capital of UAE, the sister of Dubai :), some of experts said that could not happened till next 10 years forward .. the fog covering the city in the morning is a rare thing but it happened sometimes during winter, but when the thick layer of fog covering the whole city until the sunset, this is a very very rare moment, so I was taking photos and waiting the good light from 3 to 7-8 pm to catch the good light and fortunately I was there 🙂

Actually the adrenaline still moving into my body even now, after one year of this view ! .. a unique magical sunset ! .. almost all of us as dreamers, want to see such as this view at least once a life ! .. I am very happy that I lived that moment and documented it with my pretty camera .

About post processing, I used several technique to achieve this result, at first I took around 12 shot continuously to merge them together in PS CC through stack mode technique to get a result such as long exposure shot, because I did not have an ND filter that day, so when I merged them it gave me different perspective than one shot only, it takes it to a new level, after that I enhanced the light in the scene using photoshop CC and NIK software ( darken/lighten centre filter ), and by using luminosity masks I did some adjustment to the contrast and colour in the scene to make it ad it was not as I wanted it to be, so I prefered to make the colour less saturated than the old one.

I hope you like it as I did, and you can see also the previous version-not a long exposure ( The Last Light ), and it is only one shot with an old editing, but still every shot has its unique mood 🙂
