Location
Pudding Creek Bridge on the north end of Fort Bragg, Ca.Time
I took this shot at dusk on my way home from work. It's an emotional place for my family because of the fact that my uncle drowned here as a small child. The fog was rolling in and the moment was perfect to visually capture how the spot makes me feel.Lighting
I don't use artificial lighting. I feel like the world is a treasure box of magical moments if one just looks for them...Equipment
Nikon D7200Inspiration
See above. A family member drowned here so it is a beautiful but somber place to me. This shot encapsulates how I feel when I drive by. Fortunately the fog cooperated on this evening.Editing
I did a little post work, but nothing major. The lighting was there. I just made the bridge a little more visible.In my camera bag

My technique is simple: always be ready and always be looking. There is treasure everywhere.
