While Warren was at Ocean Beach ---
I was up early looking for fog.

Totally spectacular picture, Martin! Did you really take this on the same day as my Ocean Beach shots? This pictures looks very, very familiar for some reason.
I'm very interested in knowing some technical details of the shot such as camera, lens, settings, and how much and what kind of post-processing was done to it.
The lens seems to have excellent flare control.
It's nicely composed, with particularly good placement of sun and sun reflection in relation to the shadowy foreground hills.
I know that spot in the Marin Headlands, but I feel like I'm seeing this view from an airplane flying at very high altitude.

I shot this on Sunday. I had shot this on the day before but the fog was not the same. Persistence pays off!
Technical data: Nikon F, 28mm lens, Tri-x, red filter, 1/500 sec.@f/8, scanned, sky was darkened a little and the fog lightened.
A bit interesting that I made this with a 30 year old camera! The lens is an old 28mm f/3.5 Nikkor.
I had shot a similar photo more than twenty years ago from the same spot. I'll post it later if I can find it.
Hey, I had one of those lenses. Did I trade you something for it many years ago? I wouldn't be surprised if we did.

Maybe, I have two of those lenses. There were several other photographers taking photos when I was there. A couple of guys had a large format camera on a tripod, they were there the day before too. Several others with digital SLRs.
Here's a the URL of that earlier fog photo from 1983 I think.

Both beautiful, beautiful photos!
You guys make me wish I lived in California!
