Location
The photo was taken in the region of Leningrad, Russia. It's not a well known location for all local people, as its a little bit far from St Petersburg. The place have the Guinness World Record, as its the church in the smallest island in the world.Time
The photo was taken during sunset during the start of the summer. As during this season the days are long, you can enjoy long sunsets and sunrise and the light is great.Lighting
This place for me is magical and I was looking to emphasize with the light. During sunsets, the light enter from the left and gives a magical atmosphere when the fog starts to appear on the river.Equipment
This day i was making a short excursion with my wife in the area, I knowed this location and was looking to photograph for few months but never was the perfect weather. This day I just take my Nikon D750 and 14-24 2.8, and forget the tripod & filters at home. So I was managing to leave the camera on the floor when I looked for long exposures.Inspiration
The place is magical as i explain before, the bridge is recent, and before it was even more beautiful but since I moved to live in Russia I was looking to capture this place. I recently come back in winter, and I'm in love with this place to come back during all seasons.Editing
Yes, I emphasized the fog and light colors but not so much. I also have a full edition tutorial in my youtube channel with a photo of this day.In my camera bag
I just use my Nikon d750 with the lenses 14-24 2.8 & 24-70 2.8. I also have a 50mm 1.8 but usually, I don't take for landscapes. I have a Benro tripod and some filters for the 24-70 as a polarised and an ND filter, but I'm not using so often. I prefer to take a minimum of equipment as possible and use different raws for long exposures on the skies for example.Feedback
Travel to this location is simple but you need a car. It is easy to find, as there is free parking close to the road and you just need to walk few meters. The best season is summer, as in winter all river is frozen and you not will get the reflection.
