Simple serenity, I think the duck makes the picture, very peaceful and calming.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Joensuu, Finland.

Time

It was morning here in Joensuu, Finland. I looked out my window and noticed the mist concealing the distant parts of the city. I knew I had to make the most of it. I grabbed my camera and headed out to my favourite local spot “Kuhasalo”, where the mist was turning the visible into the unknown.

Lighting

The lighting was soft from the overcast weather.

Equipment

I used my Nikon D7100, Sigma 10-20mm and a tripod.

Inspiration

The mist was what mostly inspired me. It completely changed the scene, giving it a mysterious look and feeling. I've photographed this island many times before, but this time it was different. The duck was an extra bonus. I waited for it to enter the frame before finally taking the photo.

Editing

I used Photoshop and Lightroom to edit this photo. I didn't do too much other that convert it to black and white, add sharpening and add contrast. I also added fairly heavy vignetting to pull the viewer even more into the image.

In my camera bag

I usually have my Nikon D7100, Sigma 10-20mm, Nikon 35mm, tripod and Hoya ND500. I also carry other things like extra batteries etc.

Feedback

Let the weather help you. In misty/foggy weather like this, it can really simplify things. Create a point of interest and then have objects leading towards it. General advice would to be to just keep on taking photos, and then to critique your own work.
