This was shot with a Sony a6500, 55mm F1.8 and 6 stop ND filter. First step in post was focusing on adjusting the white balance/temperature and bringing out the shadows. I put emphasis on the wonderful moss growing on the rocks in the foreground when I began post processing because I loved the vibrant green color contrasting on grey rocks. Finally, I wanted to bring some separation with the 3 bridges in the background as I felt they looked like they were merging into one so I used the adjustment brush in Lightroom to reduce the exposure/highlights/shadows and adding some clarity and contrast as a final step. The closest bridge was brightened up a bit to help provide additional separation and some saturation was added to pop the fall foliage.
