Oaks In The Fog IV
Yet another perspective of California Oaks in the fog. This was taken the same day as Oaks In The Fog, Oaks In The Fog II and Oaks In The Fog III. One interesting effect the fog provides when it is thick enough is to veil the dimension to your subject. California Oaks are a very challenging subject to photograph as the branches jut everywhere and lining up an area of compositional focus can be difficult. For this shot I really wanted to take advantage of the heavy fog to highlight a flat shape of the tree trunk. Opening up the aperture allowed me to keep the depth of field shallow also adding to the effect. With in seconds the fog started to lift enough to reveal more detail on the tree trunk, but I think I like this one best.
