Yup. Kinda. I pump up the exposure a little in ps. It was taking on a hill in South Korea... I can't remember the name.

The hill was grown full of these.. ^^

It depends on the God.

Dry weather, clean air and a little bit of luck I guess.

Small aperture helps as it doesn't blur out the background for it has greater DOF.

And there's some pp I did.. playing with color warm and saturation on the RAW image file.

Camera sensor doesn't work like human visual sensor (eyes).

You need to pick which subject you want to be properly exposed and leave other over/under-exposed.

You can't have both extreme 2 ends to look nice in a single shoot. You can however get that through HDR processing.

Of cause there'll be some tools and technique other than HDR to get the exposure you want, like using a GND filter or by adjusting the "level" and "curve" of the photo.

(Hmm.. maybe need to redo the brushing on the 2nd photo... The edges looks somewhat fake. :S)

I think the focus may be a little strayed.
(You focused on the ribbon instead of the card itself.. )

1. When you taking photo using high ISO, it is important that you over-expose a little (but not causing too much clipping), like what lwliam said.
2. In-camera noise reduction can cause images to become softer.
3. Use steady/comfortable holding position to take the photo so that you causes as little shakes as possible.
3. When you press the shutter, make sure you're not hitting the button like a sudden thrust but gently apply force until the shutter button is invoked.
