Location
I took this photo in Lucerne, SwitzerlandTime
It was at around 7 pm in the evening (more specifically the twilight hour)Lighting
I am always a fan of the twilight hour. I find the best lights and colors in the sky around 6 pm - 8 pm. For this photo the lighting wasn't too good but very interesting one. It was cloudy and sun was playing hide and seek, so at different times I got different results.Equipment
Fuji XT-20 16mm F1.4 prime Manfrotto NopeInspiration
The beauty of Chappel Bridge in Lucerne used to fascinate me a lot since childhood. I always dreamt of spending an entire evening sitting by the Chappel Bridge. The thought of taking this picture obsessed me for a long time.Editing
I used minimum post-processing with Adobe Lightroom to give it a bit of HDR look.In my camera bag
I always carry a basic Manfrotto Tripod, an ND filter, my Fuji XT-20, and Fujinon XF 16mm F1,4 R WR lens. Apart from these, I try to carry a basic lens cleaning cloth, a bottle of water, my iPhone (where I actually click so that I don't distort the long exposure compositions), two extra memory cards, two extra batteries (as Fuji XT-20 is mirrorless and the size of the batteries are really small), battery-pack for iPhone.Feedback
I would say do tons of research first. After you are done with your research, prepare a checklist of items you want to take with you. First, gather your pieces of equipment (choose the correct lens and filter), then check the weather conditions, reach early to the location, set your tripod, play around with different ideas, set your focus points, try different ISO values, and finally concentrate on the final outcome.
