Slicing Through The Fog

Lumix G5, Lumix 100-300mm

The sail is so tall that the top is actually above the fog :).

September is almost over, I'll see is I have any last minute shots for this month's theme.

I love the crispness in flight of #2, their bright orange beaks cutting into the wind as they flap the wings. The arrangement kind of reminds me of origami birds hanging from strings.

The copper colour of #3 is so pretty, especially with that subtle touch of yellow/green in the background.

FOG? OR HUMIDITY? FLORIDA IS THE ANSWER

Nikon D7000 ISO100 f/9 200 Tokina 11-16mm @ 14mm


Well I wish I could find the email I was trying to read on my phone in between coffee refills. I know the September project was FOG and I thought i read something about not cropping the photo. But I cant seem to find it.

So here is my hopefully not last attempt at Florida Fog.


I saw this split in the sunset between the patches of rain clouds and beautiful, relentless, Florida Sun. Seems my lens sitting in supercharged office AC all day had a hard time clearing up as I started to focus.

Since my first Fog shot was happening with or without my will it seams it was destined to land here.

Hi Carl, nice picture, we have no rules against cropping here. Maybe you read that on a different forum or blog.

Only in Florida would you have clouds on one side of the road, with rain, and the other side of the road has sun. I like the common lines of the road and clouds.

I like the S curve of the clouds and straight lines found on the ground. Nice pic!

Red Buoy In Fog



One kind of image I’ve always been partial to is “a little bit of something in a lot of nothing.” This one is an example of a corollary, “a little bit of color in a lot of non-color.”
You can practice looking for situations like this and thy it out with your own photos… a little bit of something in a lot of nothing… a little bit of color in a lot of no color…. a little bit of one color in a lot of another color.
To paraphrase George Zimmer, you’re going to like the way it looks; I guarantee it.
Full disclosure: I took this photo back in January - there isn't a lot of fog in our area this time of the year.

Very nice, Steve! It's interesting how the shape of the buoy is almost duplicated by the rig in the background. I like how you can still see faint traces of color (blue and yellow) on the background.

"Bad Weather Makes Good Pictures"


Following the advice that his father gave to the young Sam Abell that “bad weather makes good pictures,”  we didn’t let the fog get us down.

This is another photo I took on that day back in January. The location is Fells Point in Baltimore, with the old Domino Sugar factory across the outer harbor. Fells Point, once a down-and-out area, has had a revival over the past 20 years and become rather hip.

Love the quote. I really missed Seattle after moving to the bay area, perhaps partially, for that very reason. The collapsing dock and new growth sprouting despite the looming industrial cranes behind is fantastic!

I really like the lack of grounding for the bridge... making it seem almost weightless. Beautiful sight.

Summer Fog #2

Nikon D200, Nikkor 85mm f1.8D

The view changed by the minute. Here the fog parted briefly to reveal part of the headlands and a little more of the bridge's north tower.

I like how you caught a 'V' in the fog bank revealing the base of the tower and water.

How did you position that lens flare just right? Perfect.

Nice one! The rock looks really interesting and the fog looks kind of like it is swirling or spinning around it.

Thanks Lea & Steve! I scooped Dolph and Dan on this scene because we all took photos of it. I just beat them to the post :P.

I would still love to see their interpretation of it though (hint, hint)

I like the "Homes with a View" the best. The light on the homes, and lines from the rows of homes, and the various colors makes for a very nice picture.
