Ron,

Fantastic shot. Did you use a ND filter at the top to darken the sky or is that just how the sky looked.

Thanks Andy!

I did use a 3 stop hard edge grad filter, not to darken the sky, but to balance the light – with sun on the snowy peaks, that area was far brighter then the valley below. The dark sky was just an off-shoot of the filter. Was really hoping for some colorful clouds! I might have even used a 5 stop filter here – rarely use that would, but was trying it here.

This is as good as it gets Ron.

Gorgeous (as usual) Ron

Could you tell us the brand/name of the filter used?

Cheers!

Thanks Richard!

Thanks David! I use Singh-Ray filters: http://www.my-photo-blog.com/graduated-neutral-density-filters

Great picture. First I thought it was a painting. Did you not use a polariser?

Thanks! I can’t remember if I used a polarizer – I probably did, I often do for images like this.
