Awesome image. The story of tranquility it tells is enhanced by a strong composition, beautiful colors and contrast. Strong depth of field also helps to make this an awesome image.

Location
“These magic moments”was taken in the Zagori region in Epirus, Greece.Time
It was early in the morning after sunrise.Lighting
The combination of the warm morning light and the low mist gave me these beautiful soft colors in the valley, I didn't need anything else.Equipment
It was taken with Canon 7D using Canon 24-105mm F4L lens , a circular polarizer and a tripod.Inspiration
That day my initial target was to shoot an old bridge in the area that I had already visited many times before, but I never had the conditions I was looking for. I was expecting some fog under the bridge but unfortunately that didn't occur. Instead, I had noticed that there was mist in the surrounding area so I decided to go to a higher elevation. From a higher point I saw this amazing view of the valley with the low mist and the beautiful morning light. The light lasted for just a few minutes; this is why I ended up with the title “These magic moments”.Editing
The post processing of this photo was easy since the morning light and the mist did a really good job. I just increased the saturation a little and did some contrast and brightness corrections, especially in the bottom left of the image.In my camera bag
I carry a Canon EOS 6D a wide lens EF16-35mm F4L and the Canon EF24-105 F4L which is my favorite. In rare cases I use the Canon EF 70-200 F4 L. I always carry a light carbon fiber tripod, Lee graduated ND filters , the big stopper and circular polarizer.Feedback
You need to be really patient and persistent when you do landscape photography. Go early in the morning or late in the evening to take advantage of the warm light and don't be disappointed if your expectations are not met .If you don't find what you expected or hoped for , keep on looking in the area and try different compositions, different angles or even different spots where something more interesting could happen .
