Dawn on a cold February dayLighting
Very misty but bright early sun coming over the right hand side of my shoulderEquipment

Passing this point every day, I promised myself to capture the atmospheric early morning mist.Editing
Simple conversion to B&W and cropping. Otherwise, straight from the camera.In my camera bag
Travel light. Camera, perhaps 2 prime lenses, ND filters. I have recently sold all my DSLR kit and moved over the Fuji X-Pro2. Also use a manual light meter rather than use TTL metering. Gives me much more control over exposure and I tend to find that there is less need for post-processing to correct errors.Feedback
Patience, and pre-visualise the image you want to take. I use hypoerfocal distance and pre-focus manually. Keep checking exposure settings as the light can change quite significantly at this time of day. Choose your moment!
