The photo is taken a very windy and cold day at Oeresund (the strait of water between Denmark and Sweden).Time

no added lighting.Equipment
I Used my Nikon D850, a NIKON NIKKOR AF-S 20MM F/1.8G ED and with Lee filters...on a tripod.Inspiration
I had seen the poles for the bathing bridge while looking for and setting up for another composition and knew I wanted to have a photo with them in the frame.Editing
Small cropping made and some minor edits on the rocks in the background in LR.In my camera bag
I carry the Nikon D850, a NIKON NIKKOR AF-S 20MM F/1.8G ED, the NIKON AF-S 24-70MM 2,8E ED, the NIKON PC-E19 MM 4E ED TILT/SHIFT and the TAMRON SP 150-600 F:5,6/6,3 DI VC USD NIKON....a pile of Lee ND and Grad filters... and all the other tiny photo-stuff we all carry.Feedback
Using Lee filters for one of the first times the experience was that 'know what you are doing and why' is a good rule to follow and I gradually get the feeling of when to use filters and more importantly when not to. This photo and composition were one where the long exposure fitted the scene in a way that added to the photo without stealing all the attention. Important in regard to this photo was the patience and willingness to wait...which often happens where you have to wait maybe for hours to get the right light, the right cloud formation, the right amount of mist, those special sun rays coming from a certain direction or angle...whatever you have to wait for...it will be worth the waiting...even if everything fails and you (which still happens for me)...come home from the photo trip with absolutely nothing worth posting anywhere. The experience you get from those kinds of photo trips are adding to your skill-set as well.
