Please have a peek at the backstory in the description for Image #5 The Gilded Peaks. It would be senseless repeating it as this image was shot on the same day, at roughly the same time but is a different (cooler) interpretation of the scene. This is a separate shot. Not a cropped version of the same image, the change in the clouds tell that story. The wide angle and taller aspect ratio lend grandeur to the scene. 
 
 
The selected film simulation built into the camera imparts it's tonal characteristic. It used to be a part of the photographer's skillset that allowed them to see a meaningful composition and light. To choose the best film and exposure settings to create the atmosphere they wanted to embody. I shoot with manual settings and single shot (not rapid bursts) as much as possible to recreate that authenticity. My approach with each shot is very intentional rather than 'spray and pray.' I try to impart a bit of myself into each photograph, imperfections included, rather than allowing the CPU and AI in cameras today do the work.
