Dreamy look to photos

[arnica]

Hi All,

I just wanted to ask how to achieve photos similar to the one shown in the following YT video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lNhuRyXfCY

How did the photographer get the blown out background and at the same time get the high contract sticks in the foreground

Here's another photo with similar effect: http://res.cloudinary.com/broadside/image/upload/c_scale,f_auto,h_400,q_auto/v1480180373/gallery-01/7-Sunrise_Ovar.jpg

Is it because of the mist filters used?

Towards the end in the video he said to "...choose an aperture no narrower than f/11...":eek::confused013
Not bad from a (presumed) pro:rolleyes:

Phil. Yes, that's what he said, though he also said you can do it in PP.

Conjuring! - If you ask me:cool:
