Location
The shot was taken this spring at Meteora, Greece. The place is famous for the ancient monasteries built on the vertical rocks.Time
In the morning during sunrise.Lighting
The morning mist formed because of the rain falling overnight created wonderful conditions for fabulous diffused light which I used to create this photo.Equipment
Sony a7R II and Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS, shot by hand.Inspiration
Beautiful rocks and ancient monasteries have inspired many photographers from all over the world to visit and take pictures of this place. I am one of them :)Editing
Yes, I used a photoshop to increase the contrast of the frame, as well as to increase the color intensity, because due to the fog the colors were a little pale.In my camera bag
Sony a7R II, Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS, Sony FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA, ZEISS Batis 18mm f/2.8, 5 & 10 stops ND filters, 0.3 stops hard & soft grad filters.Feedback
When shooting in fog, the light is usually very low and my advice is to use a tripod or equipment that allows usable high iso when shooting by hand. I wish everyone a beautiful and dramatic weather!
