My BEST Work Ever?! Unbelievable Conditions with the OM-1 MKII
The moment we’ve all been waiting for: the fog, the light, and some of the best landscape conditions I’ve ever experienced. In Part 2 of this misty adventure, the sun finally clears the horizon, and the entire landscape erupts in that golden, ethereal light. I’m honestly humbled to have captured these moments—they are some of my favorite images I’ve ever taken. I’m walking you through how I positioned myself to make the most of the low, golden light, the compositions I was specifically looking for once the sun arrived, and how I balanced the high dynamic range of a bright sun and a misty foreground. This is "Part 2," so if you haven't seen the dawn preparation, make sure you check out Part 1 first! What do you think? Did these conditions produce my best work yet?
