Guidelines:
When asking for help editing one of your photos, you must also include your attempt. Simply asking for others to edit your photo for you, without putting in the effort to make an attempt yourself will result in your post being removed.
When you submit a photo, be sure to include both a JPEG and RAW file (if available). The JPEG will let us preview your shot without downloading it, and the RAW will allow us to edit it more effectively.
When you make adjustments to a photo, include the steps you took or take a screenshot of your settings. This will let the OP see how they can better edit their pictures.
This is not the place to show off your photos. /r/postprocessing is for help with editing your photo, linking to information about post processing, and sharing tips with the community. To share a picture, visit /r/photographs, /r/photocritique, or /r/pics. Posts not related to post processing should go in /r/photography.
This subreddit is for photography only. Post processing for video should go to /r/filmmakers.
If several minutes have passed and your submission does not appear under NEW, try messaging the moderators, it was probably stopped by the spam filter.
No joke posts, memes, or rage comics, please. We'd like to keep this subreddit for serious discussion only.
Please mark all NSFW posts. NSFW images that are not tagged will be removed.
No piracy related posts (asking for presets, trading presets, offering presets, etc...)
As always, use proper reddiquette.

Footages were provided by Cinestudy as part of their Color grading and Edit challenge. Goal was to create a workflow that works with different types of scenes and footages without causing any artifacts. Graded without any power windows or Qualifiers. Thoughts?
I'm new to photography and I went to shoot the sunrise the other day over the mountain. I didn't do any bracketing since I didn't know how to get that to work and it was a sort of on a whim thing.
I am trying to process these early pictures from before the sun was even close to coming over the horizon and so far I'm starting to think that I won't be able to get anything apart from either silhouettes or a really dark blue swath of trees in the foreground.
For reference I am using a Sony a6000 with a vintage Nikon 35-200mm f3.5-4.5 lens. I believe the aperture is set at f8 here as I wanted to keep the depth of field wide. I was mostly focusing on exposing for the sky so as not to overexpose and blow it out.
Here is what the RAW looks like in Lightroom
Here is if I bump the shadows way up to reveal what is hidden in the darkness.
