A fisherman and golden light at the Noord-AA

On my second photography visit to the Noord-AA near Zoetermeer, I returned to the same viewpoint. A fisherman was there again, while the setting sun cast a strong golden reflection across the water.

I used a graduated filter to help control the light and allow longer exposure times. It also introduced noticeable vignetting, which became part of the look of the photographs.

There is some post-processing, but much of the atmosphere came from the light and filter at the time of capture. The combination gave a familiar spot a strikingly different appearance.
