Do you like minimalism? Have you ever tried minimalist photography? It's pretty fun. All you need is a tripod to be able to do longer exposures and if you're shooting during the time of day when it's fairly bright outside, then you'll need a ND filter as well. Location wise, choose a bigger lake with a pier. You will have the water of the lake as the background and the pier as your subject and foreground. If you're lucky and you get foggy conditions, then it's perfect.
When I tried shooting the pier length wise, because the lake was too small, I got the mountain in the background in the frame. So what I did, was point my camera from my pier, perpendicularly to another pier and with the help of the for that by now was pretty dense, I managed to get my minimalist shot. Not my first option but still is very good photo. Sometimes mother nature doesn't give you exactly what you want, so you have to improvise.
