Lone Fishman in the Fog

     Morning along this river in Hebei, China was filled with heavy fog and smog coming out of Beijing some distance away. Objects in the distance were just shadows in the fog and the only nearly clear elements were the few lone fisherman moving on the river to their favorite fishing spots. With the boats on the move, the use of a tripod was out of the question for achieving a good composition. This was a handheld shot as I walked along the river back following this one fisherman. Being mobile allowed me to get into position in order to be able to capture both fisherman and fog-screen temple positioned well in the frame to achieve good balance. The small flock of gulls were a bonus that lasted but a brief moment.
