This weekend I was very excited to see that the weather was going to be sunny. However, as is the case often with weather where I live, the sun was isolated to one spot. I was not to fear, though, because there is always another place within driving distance where the weather will be different. In this case, it took driving across the mountains and through some fog to get there. I will be sharing those "sunny" photos later this week. For today, I chose a foggy field I just had to pull over to take a picture of, it was calling to me. I love how the fog seems to be dancing across the field. I did an HDR process in Photoshop. I am still getting the hang of HDR as it is the focus for my Reverse 365 this month. I continue to struggle with how much is too much. What do you think?

Project 52 - Week 4/52

For what seems like forever, actually only the past week or two, fog and freezing temperatures have been a constant where I live. There is something mysterious and beautiful about fog. I don't know if it is the diffused light or the way that it softens everything. This past weekend I drove around near my house and found some beautiful examples of the frost and fog. This is one of my favorites. The frozen pond surrounded by plants and trees and wrapped in fog made for a beautiful yet surreal scene. I could not decide which I liked better, the color or the black and white. What do you think?

Settings: ISO 800, 100mm, ss1/500, f/5.0

 

“The fog was where I wanted to be. Halfway down the path you can’t see this house. You’d never know it was here. Or any of the other places down the avenue. I couldn’t see but a few feet ahead. I didn’t meet a soul. Everything looked and sounded unreal. Nothing was what it is. That’s what I wanted—to be alone with myself in another world where truth is untrue and life can hide from itself. ”  - Eugene O'Neill, Long Day's Journey Into Night
