The D800 seems to have an ability (in common with other later cameras) of making dark scenes appear bright, due to their amazing light gathering power. In a way this makes it harder to separate light and dark, so one has to tweak things in post processing. I also had to apply exposure compensation of -0.7 EV to stand any chance with the sky, even with the bracketing, which was in 0.3EV increments, even then I had to pull the highlights right back and further reduce them in curves, while pushing the mid range.
I have pencilled in another trip for Friday when the weather hopefully relents but given the cold wind and heavy rain, my expectation is most of the leaves will have gone.
