Unluckily - no fog
Luckily - light clouds (both are equally rare)

Thanks maxjj

It's a 3 shot blend, taken at -2, 0, +2 EV

PP:

Lightroom - Import RAW files, apply lens profile correction (14-24mm f2.8)
Lightroom - Export as TIFF files

Photomatix Pro - import TIFF files, blend using Exposure Fusion rather than full HDR. Tweaked until I got the look I wanted. Export single TIFF file

PS5 - open TIFF file, Nik Software Color Efex and Silver Efex layers

Done

What a stunner!
It reminds me of those old 50's `Dan Dare` type films. 8)

Excellent work Phil.

Another cracker Phil. The clouds finish it off. First impression is of a some future city from a movie.

I agree with maxjj, would look great on a wall.

Great shot Phil.

I've never heard of Fusion Photography, but I like the result. It looks so much more natural than the vast majority of HDRs I've seen. I tried HDR a few times and never liked the results, but I think I'll give this a try now.
