    Saw this amazing sky this morning, walking the dog. Taken with my smartphone in panorama/pro (manual mode). Reducing iso to 200 and exposure compensation -2 stops. In post processing I used Photoshop Camera Raw Dehaze slider and the Levels tool to enhance the “rays”.

      Here is a version with less landscape focusing more on the sky itself. I used the cloning tool to remove distracting bright cars from the parking lot across the ravine.
