Leave it be! You have a unique situation here. It may be a long time before the smoke effect is seen again. Your shot now is unlike the "normal" sunset and captures a great feel.

After I clean up the smudges on the shot, ha! I have a dirty lens or sensor that needs some serious cleaning.

This was the port in Olympia tonight. The sun is about to fade into the smoke that is muting the colors of the trees in the skyline. I took a lot of bracketed photos and will hopefully edit them into one nice picture.

We have very smokey skies right now and the setting sun is very red behind this smoke. The scene is dusky but to expose correctly for the sun, the rocks and trees are black. I tried using a GND but that didn't really work very well. Should I bracket to expose the foreground, middle ground and sky correctly? I wish I had thought of that while I was out shooting! Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Initial viewing would indicate slightly under-exposed.

However, when viewed in the download the photograph takes on a different
appearance. I like the mood the photograph takes on.

For me personally, I would not change it.


I would agree.
