Feel free it was just a quick conversion
Hello Maranatha,
Many thanks for your permission, I made a couple of Lasso Selections around the triangle at the bottom left and top right. Used the Curves tool to bring up some contrast, Then the Clone tool upon itself using Overlay mode to bring out more contrast in smaller areas. Lastly with another Selection I blurred the distant area a bit.
Had I been there, I would have used a tripod and made two exposures one for the highlights and one for the shadows and then used a Mask to combine them.
I am well aware that one can do this with a camera setting and then let the camera merge them, sadly what you get is always bland.
Using the Mask you can get what you saw in the image the first time you looked at it. If you have Ps I will gladly do a screencast showing what I did to your image and how to use a mask.
Kind regards - J

Interesting conversion with modern day software we can do what we want with a photo And I suppose get to a look that we like and are pleased with I did use a Tripod the shutter speed was 1/6s and did think of two exposures but the DR was well within the range of the camera it more or less looked like what it was like on the day especially in the coloured version Paul
we nor really getting the full resolution here files are small one of the things I miss on DPReview not able to get the full detail in an upload

Hello Paul,
Being and old geezer I still live in the days and techniques of Mr Adams and Mr White.
Prof Paul Hill on the other hand decided to take an alternative view: https://www.onlandscape.co.uk/2019/02/paul-hill/
The photographers he mentions in the text are of interest as well.
Cheers - J
