“朦朧日落白玉雲” / 寧 Serenity / SML.20130302.EOSM.03009.P1.L1.BW

Autofocus failed. Manual focus also failed. Sometimes the weather is so foggy that even when magnified 10x on the EOS M I am unable to tell whether something is sharp or not. But the blur actually helps here—rendering a dreamscape like no others. So I processed it.

 

I am trying to find some graduated filters right now, so that I don’t have to keep on fiddling with Shadow/Highlights inside Photoshop to extract some contrast in the white clouds. But perhaps that bit is unavoidable. Might consider doing some HDRs in the future.
