I found this spot by randomly driving around looking for "minimalistic windows wallpaper scenes". The first time here, the weather wasnt great for the scene, so I decided to come back on a dark, cloudy day so make the scene more interessting.
First, I tried shooting this scene as a long exposure, but there was too much detail and structure lost in the clouds. so I went for a shorter exposure.
The raw file looked quite bland, I made it a lot darker with more contrast and a ton of masking to "shape the light" on the landscape by adding some shadows in the near foreground and more light on the top of the hill in the distance. I alos made the top part of the sky a bit darker to make it look more dramatic
