 Sony NEX-5N, Nikon 75-150mm Series E @ 1/250 f/8 ISO 200
You can plan good lighting. You can even plan great lighting if
you know an area well. But you can't plan special lighting. The kind of
lighting that takes multiple circumstances and only lasts a minute or
two at best. Here we were kayaking in cold weather, it snowed the night
before but cleared up in the afternoon. We're on our way home and the
melting snow and damp pavement warming in the sunlight put a heavy mist
in the air. The tree is lit up by water condensation, while the sun was
moments away from dropping over the horizon. Capturing these moments
isn't just luck. You have to keep your eyes open and not be in too much
of a hurry and pass on by. It's also the previous experience of
shooting in a wide range of situations, the preparation of always
having a camera with you, combined with the technical ability to
capture the scene. Retrospectively I should have shot the image at
f/5.6 ISO 100 but was in a hurry to capture the moment before the light
was gone.
