Location
I was taking this image on the hills of Holbav, a beautiful rural region in the middle of Romania, near Brasov. So beautiful that I will never stop coming back, to see all the seasons leaving and coming back.Time
I woke up early in the morning, in fact it was late in the night.... I drove two hours and around 6 AM i was there. Starting to climb on the hills. The moment is right after sun rising, a special moment when fog is going crazy to escape from the sun.Lighting
Lighting....no more then morning light. It's almost mystical.Equipment
I was carrying my A77 Sony together with a Tamron 70-200 2,8. Also a nice fish-eye Samyang 8 mm, but in this case was Tamron. No tripod, only hand.Inspiration
I am a big fun of morning landscapes...mountains....hills...nature. So my big inspiration is coming from nature itself. And from the walks in the very heart of the nature.Editing
I did some postprocessing, especially in highlights, contrast and luminosity layers. And also some saturation and denoise.In my camera bag
My bag is carrying usually two bodies - A99 and A77 from Sony. Together with already mentioned Tamron 70-200 F2.8, a Tamron 24-70 F2.8, Samyang 8 mm, filters ND, CPL and Cokin. Also a Vanguard tripod.Feedback
First advice is always the same: wake up early! The most beautiful images you will find it in the morning. The quick exchange of light andwarm will give you the opportunity to see "the raw files of nature".
