Merfr - I used a 2 stop Galen Rowell ND grad to hold back the fog bank highlight and post processed in CS6 to increase vibrance in foreground and adjust the color temp a bit - the light was extremely flat and disappointing on arrival at the coast - I had hoped for a few sunset pics but that is life - there was another shooter there with a film back Haselblad it would be interesting to see what he captured as well
I feel the distance.
