When I finished processing, the movie Lord of the Rings popped into my head. I think it has to do with the "kiss" of the clouds on the far peak. It reminds me of the journey to the top of Mount Doom and the destruction of the Ring. Just a thought............ :D
This was shot, if I recall, looking East; the sunrise was going to set behind me.The sun hit this group of clouds when I started shooting at the location.
If I recall while looking dark the sky was actually quite bright and I used, I think, 5 stops of GND and RGND to tone down the sky and the water.
Anyway, During the first day of Kah Kit's NZ Blockbuster, after shooting in the morning at Arrowtown we were off the Glenorchy to shoot the sunset. This was taken at 30pm before the "sunset" - it wasn't much when it finally happened -
