Featured in this capture is the rooftop structure of 'The Torch' tower in
Dubai Marina in the UAE. Its design is inspired by a mythological
Tower of Babel.
On this particular morning, its striking spiraling silhouette pierced
through the layer of the rolling fog. It was a truly remarkable and
breathtaking sight.
To create this soft look of the fog, contrasting with the imposing
architecture of the tower, I used a 15-stop ND filter which enabled me
to shoot a 3 mins long exposure.
