Single image, straight out of camera. I'm in a creek bed that runs through a ravine. Where I'm standing, the ravine is quite deep (maybe 75-80 feet) and heavily wooded. Beyond the bridge, the ravine gets shallower and shallower and the woods goes away. So the big difference in lighting is due to the foreground being under heavy tree canopy while the far distance (which is only visible in the center of the image) is much more brightly and directionally lit because there's a large clearing in the trees around the creek.
