Four steps to enhance the depth, mood, and golden hour atmosphere of your landscape images! With @mfikriromadhoni - Winner Best of the Week 11 at #nomadict / “The shot that won the best of the week is one of the pictures I captured at Mount Bromo (see pic 1). I had visited Bromo multiple times before, but conditions never aligned. That day, everything came together—light, atmosphere, and perspective—and I knew I had captured something special. It wasn’t just a photo of a volcano. It was a moment of harmony between earth and sky. I chose a top-down aerial view to show the size of the crater and the rising smoke. The shapes and textures of the crater walls create a strong visual effect, and Mount Semeru in the background adds depth and a layered feel to the scene. The most vital steps of my editing process for this photo centered on enhancing the depth, mood, and golden light that made the moment so magical. 1) I focused on balancing the exposure, especially between the bright sky and the darker foreground. Since I captured the image during golden hour, I carefully retained the warm glow in the sky without blowing out the highlights while lifting the shadows over the volcanic ridges just enough to reveal their textures. 2) Next, I enhanced the depth through contrast and tonal separation. I used selective adjustments to emphasize the different layers of the landscape—Batok in the foreground, Bromo in the middle, and Semeru in the distance—so that the viewer’s eye naturally travels through the composition. 3) I applied warm tones to highlight the sunrise and cooler tones in the shadows to create a cinematic temperature contrast. This approach helped bring the image to life and emphasize the mystical quality of the morning mist. 4) I also added a touch of clarity and texture to the ridgelines, especially around the crater edges, while keeping the fog soft and dreamy. That balance between sharp and smooth elements was essential to maintaining a sense of realism and atmosphere.” Congratulations @mfikriromadhoni!
