Artist's Comments

Norddal/Dalsbygda on the west coast of Norway.

Post-processing
Turned down the contrast and adjusted the wb on all the pictures in camera raw.

Stitched the pictures with automerge in Photoshop.

Turned up the exposure with different selective curves layers (one for the sky, one for the "houses", one for the mountain, one for the "beach" and one for the fjord).

Turned up the contrast some more with a black and white layer set to soft light (40%), and added a slightly orange tint to that black and white layer to give the picture a warmer tone.

That atmsophere is really well caught. The wide-angle helps to increase the dramatic set-up. Colour and Contrasts are very well balanced.

Just for fun grab a copy of a shot with a sky like this and select the sky, open highlights and shadows, turn off colour correct and shadows ( zero effect ) and use the highlights with tonal width at 70 radius at about 10% and try changing the amount....also use the midtone contrast,
You should be able to stormify the sky.
I'm going to write a critique of this shot when I get home... its time to close the shop.
