Mist ...

These are the photographic conditions that I'm really after when I go out for "organized", outdoors photo-shootng activities ... I personally consider the above seen shot one of the best that ever came out of my D90's sensor ...

 

We are looking at River Nestos, the part of it that crosses the Prefecture of Drama, on a misty, wet but not so cold morning of late October 2013 ... I habitually visit this place, it is one of my favourites, but I had never been bumped into similar weather conditions over that area ... This time the river welcomed me in rather high spirits !!!

 

The atmosphere was misty but the sun's light was intensely diffused through the surface cloud and the glare was hefty ... I was after an all around sharp shot and to desperately avoid overexposed results so I set my aperture value to f 11 and started experimenting with relatively high shutter speeds seeking for winning the battle over glare ...

 

The shutter speed that managed to capture the cloud's movements around the trees without sacrificing front-line detai was 1/800 s ....

 

But in any case I firmly stand behind the opinion that my beloved HDR processing is to "blame" for the final aesthetic result !!!!

 

EXIF: NIKON D90 DSLR with Nikon Nikkor 18 - 55 lens, Manual mode, f 11, ISO 200, focal length 45 mm, manual exposure selection, auto-focusing mode, cloudy weather white balance adjustments, pattern metering mode, shutter speed 1/800 s, HDR processing was made after a single RAW frame, exact lighting conditions are successfully conveyed to the viewer, no tripod, no flash, original RAW image dimensions 4288 X 2848 pixels ....
