First Light behind the Fog
In February of 2016 I visited a little stretch of beach at the mouth of the Ochlockonee River called Mashes Sands. I wanted to take some shots with the sun rising over the water. When I arrived it was still a little while to first light so I took my camera and tripod and walked back down the road to a marshy area that was separated from the beach by a stand of pine trees. I was in luck because there was a bit of fog on the marsh and as first light arrived it painted some beautiful, soft colors behind the fog. As the sunrise grew near I moved down to the beach to shoot other targets. It was three years before I returned to that spot, but Hurricane Michel had completely rearranged the place. In some ways the changes made it a better place for photographers, but this spot was opened up and the trees are gone. I always take extra time when processing a shot of something that is gone. I processed this image in Photoshop over four days using at least one texture.
