This was back in the days of yore, which is to say, a Nikon D7000 using a Tokina 11-16 mm f2.8
Oh, sick! I had a D7000 for a good while. I think I looked at the 11-16, but eventually went for a Sigma 12-24 after I got a D800 (my current kit, which I don't use enough lately...). Anyway, great pic. Looks like maybe you did an Orton effect kinda thing on it in post...?
I'm keen on ensuring there's a sense of distance in my landscape work, and one way to achieve that is making sure your black levels lighten as the distance increases. I achieve this by diffusing then lightening black levels selective the further in the distance an object is.
Very cool -- I've never heard of that technique but it makes sense, and I can see it working here. I love those more artsy types of edits, like dodging/burning, where you're not just clicking a global slider..
