  1. Single shot +Rodrigo Alvarez.  I avoid HDR processing whenever possible since it can damage the colors and impose a certain sameness with other HDRs.  That's not a knock against the technique.  HDR can be handy for recovering highlight and shadow detail maybe 3-5% of the time, often in the most challenging lighting situations, so it can be one of many valuable tools.  It's just not every shot that needs or benefits from it.

  2. +Maximilian Laue  We've noticed that calm mornings ahead of very windy storms passing through can produce spectacular sunrise clouds… literally "the calm before the storm".   It's like the saying we used to have on the East Coast: "Red skies in morning, sailors take warning".  
    High winds associated with a weak storm front passing through are forecast for Thu/Fri, so if Thu morning is calm, we could have nice clouds forming over the mountains to the east, towards the rising sun.

  3. ThanQ very much for the detailed information.
    Though I have a fashion for photography, as I am not able to shoot or click
