sure. first i went into the wilderness with camera gear. then the rain broke after 2 days. high pressure had set in. i explored the posible view of the mountain from atop the frozen lava flows. i found a few interesting viewpoints and ate dinner and such. the sky had been clear all day, aside from 1 lenticular that i spotted at about 2pm. when i saw this i knew it was on. as a warm front with moisture was surely approaching my location. I knew if the first cirus clouds cam around sunset i would be set to have the glow of sunset reflect in the clouds while the last hints of alpenglow hit the mountain, but not so late as to not have soft light still hitting the rocks in the foreground. I set my aperture and focus to hold detail throughout the scene then took a light reading, set my shutter speed (i think this is 20-30sec @iso 400 probably) then i set my camer and gorilla tripod upon the rock, fine tuned the composition, set the self timer, and released the shutter.
Once back to civilazation i uploaded the picture to my computer, edited the raw file twice.
in photoshop i removed all my fucking sensor dust and sharpened the image. then i duplicated my base layer, and adjusted curves for the sky. on the base layer i adjust curves for the foreground. then i created a layer mask, selected the defualt gradient paint bucket, and created a single gradiant to blend the two layers visually.
