Grand Teton Sunset, 2017

The camera didn't make it out of the bag, so I am revisiting and reprocessing some older pictures. This is from a trip we took a few years ago. Wildfires in Montana had created a ton of smoke that hung over both Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, limiting visibility most of the time. But on the way back to the hotel on this evening, the smoke helped create an awesome sunset. I originally processed some multi-exposures of it as HDR, but this one is reprocessed from two exposures using luminosity blending. I think it came out much better.
Super capture.

Wow... this is stunning! The mountain silhouette with that sky colour is breathtaking! FAV.

What a glorious scene! What you did with the blending and processing is beyond my understanding, but it sure turned out well.

@kwind @mcsiegle Thank you! Mary, I have been watching a lot of tutorials lately trying to figure it all out; it isn't nearly as hard as you might think! But you do need photoshop, or at least something that'll do layers and layer masks. If you google "luminosity masking", there's a lot of free info out there that will get you started.
