I took this picture on the way back from Locatelli Refuge, the sun was setting and the colors began to be warmer. I found this little chapel with the sunset behind and mountains to the side, a truly beautiful scene to photograph.The chapel is the Cappella degli Alpini and is easily findable on google map complete with street view 🙂 The photo is the result of a digital blending of 3 bracketed shots that will show as usual as I worked below
WORKFLOW EXPLANATION
I started with the three shots working them with uminosity masks, starting from the image clearer and gradually darkening the sky. I used the dodge and burn tool to lighten some part of the foreground and the mountain and I made some color correction to adjust sunset colours
After give more details and sharpen to the frame using TTS Fast Panel, I added some contrast using curves applied to midtone masks. With hue/saturation I lovered some blues on the top of the sky and as the last touch I added some little more contrast manually. For save the image for web I used this guide
