Was going for the minimalistic approach here. Fogs sure helps with that. We tend not to have much in the way of dramatic atmosphere in AZ.....bright sun dominates so it was a treat to see the dense fog this morning.
This morning's low fog was pretty shocking to say the least. I have been waiting years for something like this. Typically this type of fog only happens in winter, but for some strange reason it happened in August. This is the foothills of Silicon Valley.
Wishing everyone a great weekend!
Thanks for looking!
Tonight in Quebec, the St-Laurent river valley was filled with fog. What an incredible opportunity to go out and shoot. Too bad it's two week late of the #MistAndFog #FlickrFriday challenge (=
The fog creates a dreamlike state over the Mississippi River and the Centennial Bridge.
A year ago today, we were shoveling 18 inches of snow. You don't have to shovel fog. I like it.
For my Rail Visions entry this month for the fog theme, here is a UP freight piercing through the early morning fog at DeKalb, IL, on 8-2-11.
It's funny, when I was driving the school bus I hated the fog. I would always say I preferred driving in the snow to the fog. Now that I no longer have a bus full of unruly passengers I quite enjoy a foggy day and look on it as a photographers gift. Even the everyday feels different with that foggy misty effect.

Multiple-exposure HDR panorama of fog rolling over the Golden Gate Bridge, taken a few days ago.
I'm experimenting with using the 50mm 1.8 D prime lens to do all of my panorama work, instead of using a wide angle for this type of shot, as I did before. At the cost of needing to take more time to compose and capture the shot, there is an absolutely staggering increase in detail and resolution to this method.
Firstly, because that little $130 lens is drastically sharper than any wide angle I know of, including the multi-thousand dollar Zeiss lenses.
Secondly, because when you generate a panorama, you're creating a higher megapixel master image that can be cropped down any way you choose. In the case of this picture, the actual size of the master file is over 200 megapixels. And it already starts to lose detail shrinking it to 150 megapixels.
Coming from the old 18-200mm DX lens on the D200, results like this are absolutely staggering, and pushing into the realm of Large Format cameras. The detail visible here on Flickr is not even close to the original file.
This panorama was generated from 9 sets of 5-exposures each, though HDR data was only used extremely selectively - there was enough dynamic range in the original RAW files to make it unnecessary, save for artistic effect.
The year 2013 was a fairly slow year for my photography. Although I came home with many great images it seemd like Mama Nature was out to get me way too often. The previous evening I completely missed an absolutely stunning sunset and walked out of work an hour after sunset to see the sky was *still* ablaze with color. It looked like Mama Nature was out to get me again. The next day, this day, the clouds looked to be sticking around and I had no intentions of missing out.
Willie and I left work and drove up to the SF Coast with the intentions of photographing the Sutro Baths. In typical 2013 fashion Mama Nature didn't want my plan to go smoothly and fog began to roll in almost as soon as we got there. Guess we weren’t going to shoot the coast. Our only option was to cross the Golden Gate Bridge and hope the fog stayed low and continued to fill in. The heat of the sun kept the fog away from the Golden Gate Bridge and we, once again, had to abandon our plan and try something else. We hiked over a small hill to see what the fog looked like on the Pacific Ocean side of the coast and were greeted with a stunning layer of fog. Willie quickly suggested using the telephoto lens to get some intimate fog shots.
One area of fog that peaked my interest was a bowl-like section of fog that was creating dunes of fog. The rolling hills of fog were stunning to look at. I tried a number of compositions and ultimately decided I liked leaving some room on the right for the lines of fog to let the eye flow. I also knew that I wanted to smooth out the fog, hence I threw the Lee Big Stopper on and increased my shutter speeds to 20 seconds. What do you think, a neat patch of fog?
