Yes, timing is everything in these affairs - I was truly lucky! Glad you're enjoying them as I am.

Crazeazn: if by PP you mean post-processing, I use basic Levels, Curves and Hue/Saturation (saturation only - I don't like messing with the hues - feels evil Smile

) adjustment layers in Photoshop to tweak my baseline raw development in ACR. In some of these where the sky was on the sun-side, I added a second Curves layer to help bring under control the huge dynamic range between the bright sunlit sky and unlit tree trunk shadows.
