Astoria Column at Night, with Fog
The night of February 27, 2021 presented possibly the most perfect photographic conditions one could wish for. The sun had long set, the crowds were gone, the tower was lit in beautiful color, and all of it was behind a veil of fog and water vapor. Occasionally, the top of the tower would fade into focus as the fog dissipated, even if only for a moment. This column built on top of a hill overlooks the city of Astoria, Oregon, and recounts the early history of the state. It has been on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places since 1974 and is a top tourist attraction in the Astoria area.
HDR merge of 3 manual exposures, post-processed in Aurora HDR and finished in GIMP.
