It had rained most of the day, but by evening all that was left was a dramatic sky. This is from the bridge on route 9 over the Mousam River, between Kennebunk and the sea, looking inland. I like the little arm of marsh in the foreground and the light overall.
Not an easy exposure. Active D-Lighting on the Nikon P500 brought the foreground up some, but I also used the in-camera post processing, Quick Retouch in this case, and then final processed in Lightroom. I tried an HDR but the greens came out too saturated. I actually prefer this.
Nikon Coolpix P500 at 22mm equivalent field of view, f4 @ 1/1000th @ ISO 160. As above, Program with Active D-Lighting.
