Location
Prague. Charles Bridge in the morning of September. It's about seven in the morning. Exactly at the time of sunrise, the rapids on the Vltava river are starting evaporating actively, creating an incredibly mystical picture. There are a lot of (what a suprrise!) people on the Charles Bridge who want to take a photo of this miracle on the background of old Prague. In order not to interfere with each other, photographers lined up across the bridge. And only rare passers-by and runners are huddled to the brim of the bridge. … And suddenly. A young man in a neat black suit, white shirt and kipa cut through the line of photographers, like an icebreaker. Well, the scene turned out delicious!Time
September, 7 AM about. No any fog was before. The sky was clear. The fog appeared as soon as the sun began to rise.Lighting
The sun and fog made the lighting magnificent. It was only necessary to choose the momentEquipment
Since I am travelling a lot and it's a business trips mainly, my equipment is very ascetic. It was Sony A6000, travel zoom Sony Zeiss 16-70F4, Sony Zeiss 24F1.8 for night shots and Zeiss Touit 12F2.8 wide angle at that moment. I used Sony Zeiss 16-70F4 to make this picture.Inspiration
This photo was inspired by a huge number of reproductions and paintings of the Charles Bridge, which are sold in Prague on every corner. They are very beautiful. I thought that this does not happen in nature and all these drawings are artistic decorating. It turned out that reality is even more beautiful than drawings.Editing
In travel and landscape photography, I use one well-known and wise rule: "Create a vibrant photo that looks like it hasn’t been touched"In my camera bag

One of the definitions of the plein air landscape in painting is: "a true reflection of the colorful richness of nature, all color changes in natural conditions, with the active role of light and air." The task posed by the photographer is the opposite - to convey to the viewer the emotional state experienced by the author, observing the real beauty of the world (landscape). Let us convey the true beauty of nature, not embellished. Let's make the viewer “almost physically feel the breath of the wind, the smell of the sea, the silence of snow or the noise of foliage”
