A foggy morning along the north shore cliffs of Point Lobos
In mid-July I managed to get to Point Lobos State Reserve, south of Carmel, on two occasions during the same week. It stayed foggy the entire time on the first visit, but on the second it began to clear back from the coast by mid-morning, and fog-softened light was present here as I walked along the north shore of the park. (Oddly, it was foggy inland as the area right along the coast began to clear.)
The photograph appears to show a clear view across water and into a cove where with steep rocks and tall trees at its head. In fact, my shooting position is quite covered with trees, and it was a bit of a trick to find a spot with a clear view like this. At the point at which I made the photograph the fog was still there, though it was beginning to thin a bit, and some soft light was beginning to make its way through the murk.

The Cribbies is an area of Tors Cove that was once its own community. There are two small iconic saltbox houses there that remain from the original settlement. They are amongst the most photographed houses in all of Newfoundland and are familiar to many from tourism ads.The Cribbies, Tors Cove, NL
It has been a while that I went out to the Golden Gate Bridge to see the low fog. Woke up just before 5am and check the webcam and saw the fog moved it....had to go and take some pictures and try out the high resolution mode of the E-M1 Mark ii

Dichter Nebel lag heute den ganzen Vormittag über dem Saaler See. Das Fotografieren war schwierig, ich hatte mir mehr versprochen.
It was extremely foggy this morning and difficult to take photographs, I'm not content with the result.
London fog...or "dense freezing fog" according to the Met Office weather service. January and February do bring quite dreary weather to this island. Fitting weather for a Monday morning too!

Where do I start?
Matt, Josh, Mel and I spent the weekend on the road, traveling between Armidale and Brisbane. The plan was to shoot the colours of Autumn (which we did), more on that later. Matt and I noticed isolated fog was likely to develop on Friday morning, so we hit the road early. The fog started to appear just at the top of Cunninghams Gap, and as we were descending into Warwick. We had to chase it because it was patchy and isolated, as with most early morning trips, it all comes down to instinct, go left here, straight, now right... OK good... wow, check that out... etc was how the conversation went.
After chasing and shooting the fog for probably about 40 minutes we came across this amazing field and fence line combo. I took a series of shots here, (more on them later, and some better comps) but I like this comp because of the special element ... yup, that's right .... a fogbow. (don't worry Matt and I both filed our memory cards shooting this fogbow in many different locations!) ... so expect more shots later.
What an amazing morning, and I'm glad we left early... sure we were tired for the rest of the trip... but 20gig of photos and an endless vault... its all worth it.
Enjoy.

About Fogbows
A fog bow is similar to a rainbow, but because of the very small size of water droplets that cause fog, smaller than 0.05 mm, the fog bow has no colors and appears white. Fogbows are sometimes called 'white rainbows' or 'cloudbows' Mariners sometimes call them 'sea-dogs.'
Unlike a glory, which has multiple pale colored rings caused by diffraction, the fogbow is entirely white.
The fogbow's lack of colors is caused by the smaller water drops, so small that the quantum mechanical wavelength of light becomes important and smears out colors that would be created by larger rainbow water drops.
A fogbow is caused by a process similar to that causing rainbows, but because of the very small size of the water droplets, the fogbow has little color, making it appear white.
Very cold air can't hold as much moisture as warmer air, and therefore fogbows often appear in cold areas.
The colors of a rainbow depend on the size of the water droplets. Bright red only appears when there are big raindrops, but when the droplets are small, the rainbow angles of the different spectral colors overlap in a way that they add up to white light.
The radius and thickness of a fogbow also depend on droplet size. As the droplets get smaller, the fogbow gets broader (usually about twice as wide as a normal rainbow) but its radius decreases. Unscientifically put, they're paler, shorter and fatter.
Fogbows are rare because the sun or moon has to be low behind the head of the observer, and the fog mostly opposite the source of light. The observer must be looking into the bank of fog, which may not even be noticeable in directions away from the fogbow itself. Meanwhile, if the fog is too thick to the back of the observer, the light will not be able to permeate it and create the effect. With fog providing the canvas for this trick of the light, elusiveness is the order of the day, or night.

As I work my way through the raw file archives from past years — a wonderful exercise in this pandemic-limited times — I don’t just think about the images as photographs. I also recall the experiences of making them — the feelings of the locations, the people who were with me, the surrounding non-photographic activities. During the past few days I’ve been thinking about the overall experience of a full day of photographing a subject such as these migratory birds, and as I do so I’ve considered how different it is from what many folks might imagine.
When people think of bird photography I believe that they relate to the “hunt” aspect of it — searching for a subject and focusing in on some amazing specimen or specimens. Sounds pretty exciting, right? But the truth about this sort of photography (and, to be honest, lots of photography) is that it tends to involve a lot more “not photographing” than actual photographing. A typical day of photographing a subject like this one involves quite a bit of just being there with my eyes open, hoping I’m in the right place at the right time. It tends to be a slow and quiet activity, punctuated by occasional bouts of intense activity. I’ve been in the field with folks who weren’t used to this, and I can often sense their anxiety of slowing down enough as they wait for something to happen. Over time I have learned to love these slow, quiet periods — like the very quiet scene in this photography. I often think nostalgically about them more than about the brief, intense moments.
