We had a good fog the night of 21/22nd. It stuck around
until the sun broke through. It lasted long enough for me to record the colors of that morning.


This is what it was like 8 hours before the above.Yeah, I was wandering around in the fog in the middle of the night. I live my life in a fog.

3. As you know, getting a good
fog photo is quite tricky, and I only have a few myself.

I really like your bottom photo - the lighting is great, especially the light reflecting on the power pole in the foreground. The image as a whole is very dramatic.

5. Thanks. I again went with the in camera b&w. What noise there was
is masked by the fog. I tweaked white balance and curves. I did a bit of sharpening, then faded it some.

4. I think both of them are very successful in conveying the feeling of a foggy
night or morning. The top one has an even more dreamy quality to me. It looks a bit European, too.
Merry Christmas, Alfredo!

6. Thanks. I liked the pastels. The conditions were changing fast,
so I had to act quickly. I saw a change between deciding to get my camera and when I took the image.


I did an IR emulation. I might post that later.
