Early Morning. Emphasis on early.Lighting
All natural. The sun was just coming up and this bridge is in a valley.Equipment

It started snowing the night before so I knew I'd be up and out the door early. I made it the banks off the river beside this bridge before sunrise and the whole scene was untouched and beautiful.Editing
Other than being HDR, I don't remember doing a whole lot of post work on this one. It's one of those photos you definitely don't want to go too far with. It would just ruin it.In my camera bag

When there is snow it is my favorite time to photograph. In a high traffic area like this it is imperative to get there early and have a plan. One early morning jogger could have easily made this shot and many similar shots impossible. Which is exactly what happened less than 15 minutes after this capture.
