If water had emotions, I think it would be happiest on the move. This is from a trip up Little Cottonwood Canyon back in May.

I took this behind one of the rest areas in Washington. As I looked at this picture later, I could imagine some large predator patiently waiting for a rabbit or maybe a deer.

The last picture from my project series to "forest and fog" or "fog and forest"? No matter, it's giant fun. Both walking in the foggy winter forest as well as the photographing. I am very happy when the pictures also liked one or the other. Enjoy your time, makes the best of it and stays healthy.

Last year I bought a Nikon D300 with only 8400k shutter releases, I wanted a pro body for my Laowa macro lens. Because my Nikon D5300 doesn't recognize my fully manual lens, I'm not saying I can't use it but issue I have with it is that 1 I can't use my external flash and 2 it doesn't recognize my lens there fore I need to use the histogram and the Lcd screen to get a feedback of how the picture is exposed... but after a while I got used to it. But in a pro body ( like the D300 ) I don't have these issues because it recognises the manual aperture ( the lens mount is for nikon f mount ) and can get a somewhat good exposure feedback. As for the sensor... the d5300 sensor is better than the d300 but.... to be honest I don't really care, If I want more dynamic range I'd put the camera on a tripod and do HDR pics. Although the main reason I like the D300 more than the d5300 is because it has 12 mpx ( ironically ) because I want to perfectionate my stacking photography technique and 24mpx vs 12mpx.... It kills my pc with 50 picture stack my pc freezes and I got 16GB of ddr4 ram, It show me that it needs 20+ ram for 50 pics ( 12 mpx )... so that is why I use a 12 mpx sensor. Now.... I bought two lenses the sigma 70-200 f2.8 and the sigma 24-70 f2.8 ( the D300 and these two lenses was my childhood dream setup ).

The issues :

pfff the 70-200 f2.8 works good my D300, mostly getting the focus ok..... but sometimes it doesn't.... But I am used to focus manually ( I got used to it while doing macro pics.. again, my macro lens is fully manually )

The autofocus DOEN'T WORK ON THE D5300.... I mean I don't understand the logic why...

The 24-70 f2.8 on the d300... well it has autofocus, but I don't really know if I have a issue with lens of it is in conflict with the D300 but... it hunts allot and doesn't get the focus right ( if it even gets the focus right ) and for that reason I use it on manual focus ( the barrel distortion is terrible at 24mm (34 in aps-c)

The autofocus DOEN'T WORK ON THE D5300.... Again I don't understand the logic why...

So mostly I manually focus my shots, and in these scene I just did that. And I missed, The scene was beautiful but I missed the focus... oh well. But in every bad thing there is a good. and I imagine this pic as more a painterly-photo rather than.... well it is what it is the scene was beautiful. I must do it again someday. Thanks for the visit and have a nice day 😊

I saw some small pawn prints in the mud. There was a big K9 paw marks next to bicycle marks. I Knew that the small one where of a fox.... taking in consideration that I know that there is a fox burrow somewhere. 2 years ago I took a random pic of the opposite place from here and when I zoomed in I saw a red fox figure watching me....There was so much vegetation back then ( in the summer) that I couldn't go and check it out. I took some visits to this place a few times and did not see the fox, until today. Like I said I saw 2 types of pawn prints. I followed it and when I looked up I saw a small reddish figure crossing the road... Got yah, by the time I arrived at the place I saw the fox, The cyclist and his german-sheperd returned ( the bigger pawns and the bicycle tires ).... I went after the fox but....the vegetation is full of similar colored leafs... and i just couldn't see it. I could bet it would see me.. but I.... no. I really hope that we would get some snow this year so I can see it better. I sense you fox.. I will find you and shoot you ( photographically ) . I have a picture of a fox, but not a good one of it.

*about the pic : this is a stack of 20+ pics of the place where the fox is supposed to be

A wonderful atmosphere, total peace and quiet and super clear air. So, leave your car behind, put on sturdy shoes and go hiking.

I put my project fog in the forest or better forest in the fog .... I do not know .... Continue. For some weather types, it is sometimes just short periods that stay for photographing. Whether sunrises or sunsets, certain lighting situations or just this fog. Yesterday, I said that this atmosphere reminds me very much about the fairy tales of the Brüder Grimm: A visit to the "Grimmwelt" in Kassel is definitely worth learning more about these interesting brothers and their work. Enjoy it.

So nice it is to hike in the fog on an early morning, so depressing is to see that - because of dryness and bark beetle - huge areas of the forest have to be picked up. That's so scary like the mood in the picture.

"Because I could not stop for Death –

He kindly stopped for me –

The Carriage held but just Ourselves –

And Immortality."

-Emily Dickinson

This awesome forest is situated north of Helsinki. The oldest trees are some 150-160 years.

I will continue this week part 2 of my project forest, fairy tale and fog. Why? On the one hand, because I like the topic. On the other hand, because I sought the protection against wind and rain in the forest tomorrow at my long-distance course. And again enjoyed this fantastic peace and atmosphere. So these long training runs are a real pleasure!

It depends of kind of organism you are...trees could be a whole universe, a toothpick or a toilet paper.

This week is probably my "week of the forest" ;-). This transitional period between winter, the snow has disappeared, and spring offers a great interplay between cold at night and milder temperatures per day - combined with many rainfall. This apparently offers a fogging a wonderful basis. A great mood that can form in the forest thus.

"Ignoramus et ignorabimus" (e.h. du Bois-reymond). In the short term, it may be due to the bounded rationality that this statement applies. But in the medium term to long term, I think, as a friend of the Enlightenment ("Sapere Aude"! - Dare to Be Wise! "(I. Kant)) and science, that many things can be rational and scientifically explained. For the unclear things, it needs still some time until they can be scientifically explained in the future.

A foggy morning near Oakland Oregon. Parked my truck and took a walk out past the rest area.

On the edge of the dark forest, what lies there?

Who doesn't know it when hiking in the mountains? In many places and corners you come across cows and cattle running freely.

It has become too mild for us again. Roads sometimes stand for life: sometimes it goes up, sometimes down, then it is very varied, then again and again just straight, sometimes they are in good condition, sometimes as holey as Swiss cheese. Anyway, have a nice weekend.

"Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning’s hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;

I am not there. I did not die."

Mary Elizabeth Frye

Gorgeous! How intense the fresh green of the young beech leaves is. A lovely sight. It smells wonderful, the birds are chirping. This spirit of optimism in spring is simply brilliant.

I am - even in my second week of the fog forest project - always thrilled and even fascinated how incredibly dense and intense the fog has been a few days ago. In this context, I remember the magnificent song of The Velvet Underground: "Foggy Notion". Great band, great song! Listen to it.

The fog wafts through the valleys and hang over the mountain peaks. Only a few more hours and the rays of the sun make their way through these thick fog fields. Lovely!
