Sunny day? HDR??
Not sure what you mean - it was a sunny day (the sun was just out of frame top left), and the 3 bracketed shots were processed into a High Dynamic Range (HDR) photograph.
I probably went over the top but some like them like this.

Cheers :)

The processing has introduced lots of 'weird' artifacts, and, IMO, added nothing to the pic. Just makes my eyes hurt...

Sorry you feel like that. Some of the 'artifacts' are shadows from the clouds travelling across the fileds while yes, some of them are overdone portions of sky.
I will be more careful what I upload in future ;)

Untitled. A telephoto long exposure experiment. There was absolutely no wind, so it was possible.
I was shooting in broad daylight so used the following to get the 2 minute exposure:
Lee Big Stopper, Lee 0.6 Proglass solid ND and a Lee 0.3 Neutral Density Soft Grad. This made for 12 stops of filtration and 13 for the sky.

To get this exposure time, I shot at f16 that gave me f22 with the 1.4x teleconverter attached to my 50-140mm. This was shot at 188mm on the Fuji, giving a FF equivalent of roughly around the 285mm range.

I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. The mountains in the background were barely visible to the naked eye. I was amazed when I saw the camera picked them up.

I'm enjoying doing these 'quiet landscape' style images. It's challenging but very rewarding when the 'Less is more' idea works.
