Well, you clearly enjoy expensive hobbies, such as Overlanding, travel, and photography... Have you tried Sporting Clays? Or sailing? Perhaps wine? Lol

What kind of settings did you son in law use to capture this shot?

The Secret Sauce
Dan,
You would do best to contact Mike directly at his site: http://www.michaelneilodonnell.com
But it's easy:
-- First identify all of the interesting sites within a 50 mile radius. Then visit them at sunrise/set and in all seasons to discover when the light will be best.
-- Then hike over trails and rocks in the dark to drag all of your gear into position.
-- Use a tripod, the right lens, and, perhaps, a neutral density filter.
-- Take a half dozen bracketed exposures, per "shot".
-- Dump the whole mess into the system of your choice and cull ruthlessly. (Mike uses Aperture which makes it easy to "stack" photo sets like this.)
-- Once you have the RAW's adjusted, use the HDR package of your choice to assemble the final image.
Finally, pray that you achieve the right effect and go more natural or more dramatic as required.
Me, I point and pray!

Seriously, if you are really interested in landscape photography, send Mike a note.
