Location
I took the photo at the downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota USA.Time
It was 6:50 AM, foggy skies, and the sun was not up yet since it was winter. Very cold morning. It was a morning where nobody wants to get up because of cold.Lighting
I wanted to share to my viewers the beauty of the bridge in winter days. I wanted to show to them the beauty of things we just ignore everyday.Equipment
I had it planned ahead of time so I brought with me my tripod, my Canon 5D Mark II, My Canon Remote Controller TC-80N3, anti-fog clothe, head flash light in case of zero visibility moment, Canon Lens TS-E17mm f/4LInspiration
People usually ignore the beauty of architectures and landscape due to the business of their lives. I wanted to give them inspiration that beauty can be see just around the corner when we just stop and smell the roses.Editing

In Northern part of USA specifically in Minnesota you can see the sun very seldom and winter is long it take about 9 months so you need to prepare your warm clothes, in short you need to bundle up, you need to have warm hat, have gloves, warm socks, and winter boots when you take photos. Winter here sometimes turns into -40 or -60 so prepare for the worst. In taking night and early morning photos, you need to bring tripod for a more professional looking photo.You can use also wireless remote or the one with cable. Remember always, it is you who will decide the composition of your photos no matter how expensive your camera or gadgets it won't help. You are in the driver set for those gadgets you bought.
