 I wanted to catch the early morning clouds that hang low in the valley. I put the camera on a tripod, kept the ISO low to keep the noise to a minimum and the photo somewhat dark. For landscapes I thought it was important to keep a small aperture. However today I read it should never be over f11 for landscapes? I saturated the orange somewhat in Lightroom but did not make any other adjustments.

It's the softness and the layers -- and the warm/cool tones that make this work.

This is killing me because the picture is beautiful, but "Ground Fog" is not "Clouds".
