Morning Sunlight & Fog – Between You, Me and the Trees

Date: 09 Nov 2007

Comment: 11

Early Wednesday morning I was on dog duty walking my 3 dogs around a local park. When I left the house the neighborhood was shrouded in thick fog. Realizing that there may be a photo opportunity with the fog rolling through the Monterey Pine trees in the park, I went back in the house to get my camera and tripod. Murphy’s Law would have it that as soon as I got to the park the fog started to lift, but just enough to increase visibility. The fog wasn’t thick enough for the moody shot I wanted nor was it light enough to get a good nature profile photo of the trees. The fog seemed to ebb in density. I got a couple shots, but wasn’t really satisfied and just kept walking the dogs around the park. Sticking around and having patience paid off as for 30-45 seconds the sun broke through the fog revealing the scene pictured below. As quickly as the sun broke through it was concealed again in the fog turning the park from a golden jewel to a gray shadow of itself. I suppose if there was a moral to the story its to know your subject, be patient and to always be prepared.

    What a beautiful Shot!
    What aperture / shutter speed where used?

  • Mary Henry

    Amazing! I find that sunrise and sunset shots are very fleeting that way. We had a gorgeous sunset a couple weeks ago- at the end of the cloudy day. The edge of the cloud bank passed just as the sun was setting making for some great colors. I have those on my Smugmug site that I sent you.

    Beautiful shot Jim. Sometimes I think rewarding shots like this are more fun than getting something great from a far away place.

    @Marry Henry Sunset and Sunrise always creates great ligthting oppoortunities. I’ll have more on that in the coming week. I’ll check out your shots on smug smug as soon as I can.

    @Mark I agree. Discovering something in your own backyard often has a heightened sense of reward/achievement.

    @Paul (AKA photographyvoter.com) thanks
