This image was photographed 35 minutes after this one of Lower Nicola Valley. Although the sky and earth were both taken with the same press of the shutter button, they were each processed differently – the digital equivalent to using a graduated neutral density filter while taking the image. The original photograph was also taken in infrared, then converted to black and white.
