Devil's Lake Evening Fishermen
There was an amazing mist that descended on the lake and the hills in the background. I wouldn't have minded being on that boat fishing!...

Location
This photo was taken at Devil's Lake State Park near Baraboo, Wisconsin.Time
This photo was taken at approximately 8:30pm.Lighting
The lighting was all natural.Equipment
I shot this image with my Canon 80D, fitted with my EF-S 55-250mm zoom at a focal length of 90mm. I was using my tripod, and used a circular polarizer.Inspiration
I was awaiting the sunset, and decided to capture this image of a couple of fishermen peacefully floating in their boat. The fog had just started to roll in, and everything just turned out perfect!Editing
Yes, this was post-processed in Luminar 3.In my camera bag
I typically carry my Canon 80D with five lenses (Canon 50mm f/1.8, 10-18mm wide angle zoom, 18-55mm zoom, and 55-250mm zoom, and Tokina 100mm macro prime lens). I also have my Haida M10 pro filter holder with a 10-stop ND and 3-stop GND filter and circular polarizer. Of course, I always have my standard accessories like spare batteries, lens hoods, memory cards, etc., and I carry a Godox V860-II speedlight with MagMod Sphere & MagBeam flash modifiers with color gels and gobos.Feedback
My advice is always simple...soak up everything about where you are, and feel the story that starts to reveal itself about your subject and your surroundings. I'm always amazed that eventually a compelling story begins to emerge, and my job then becomes how best to capture that story. Sometimes that's easy to do, sometimes it's damn hard, and sometimes I'm not able to do it at all. It's those times that I just enjoy the story and the moment, and then later it drives me to get better at my craft so in the future I can perhaps succeed.
