Thankyou. I have never been that sure of it myself but it seems reasonably popular.

Behind The Lens
Location
I was working in Strood at the time, just across the River Medway from Rochester in Kent.Time
My shift was finishing just before Sunset and I went straight to the bridge to catch the last light.Lighting
The sun has sunk into the haze just before reaching the horizon which accentuated gold the but it was still a little too bright to be in the the frame so I positioned it just off the edge.Equipment
I was using a Nikon D50 with a portrait zoom.Inspiration
Walking home from work the previous day I had seen how pretty it looked as I crossed the bridge. There was a haze captured within the river valley by an inversion which is quite common in this spot. The next day I brought my camera to work hoping it would be as nice as the day before.Editing
I increased the saturation in Photoshop to bring the gold light out.In my camera bag
I don't carry much in my bag. I like to carry a 50mm prime and a telephoto zoom. The filters I carry are just a polarised and a few neutral density filters. I also carry a tripod when I am going to a particular spot.Feedback
The light colour in this shot was all to one side and I used the boats to lead the eye to the brightest point.
