Workshop
Using weather

Subject
Lighthouse in the fog

Most summer afternoons, fog blows in, obscuring scenic vistas. But in the softened light, cypress trees along the lighthouse trail become enigmatic sculptures. Arbabi makes it work. "My favorite proverb," he says, "is 'Chance favors the prepared mind.'"

Challenges: Rapidly changing weather and light conditions.

Tip: Don't stop shooting when the fog sweeps in―play with detail shots, silhouettes, and angles.

Best time: Late afternoon to sunset.
