Today I went out to a nearby path that runs along a river (just a few minutes drive from where I live) and took some pictures.
The equipment is my Nikon D90 with the stock objective that comes with it (which I know isn't the best there is)
However, I'm quite pleased with how the photos turned out, and I owe it all to one secret:
I was there at the right time!
When it comes to landscape photography like this, the time of day is crucial. The fact that I left my warm and cosy bed at 7.20 on a saturday resulted in me getting a fair amount of decent pictures with nice light and greath atmosphere (including a couple of pictures of our new Subaru Legacy as well).
When I was at the place, it was just a matter of taking as many pictures as possible.
Another small tip I can give is to use a tele-objective with as much zoom as possible. This enhances the influence of any fog or mist in the air and gives more depth to the images.
