First Landscape Session

Spokane River, originally uploaded by schevange.

It's freezing cold here in Spokane right now but I was desperate to shoot something visually appealing and not indoors so I took off early from work to catch the end of the day on the bluff above the Spokane River.

I am not content with the shot but it was the best of the bunch. In particular I don't like the washed out sky. But maybe it's not possible to have pretty sky and river? I don't know how to do it yet if it is.

Update: I guess  there's a filter for just this scenario where the filter is split in half so the top half darkens the sky and the bottom lightens the ground. Too advanced for me at this point but interesting to know it exists.
