Foggy Day Out

[Athena]

This is my version of the foggy day out we had (see: http://ricohforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=7105 and http://ricohforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=7116). It was hard for me to choose the best 10 pics to put in this post, as I had 34 pics that I selected as the best from the day. I hope you enjoy these anyway...

I enjoyed them very much Athena.
A fantastic set of photos with the numbers 4 and 8 as my personal favorites.

A nice foggy weather calling for experiments, isn't it. #6 works best for me from this set.

Yes indeed Peter. We had a great time - first time I've shot in foggy weather. It was a great chance to see what kind of dramatic atmosphere I could create. Thanks

Thank you very much 33dollars . Yes, after the success this time, I will be taking advantage of foggy weather next time I come across it if I have my camera with me.

Great set, I very much like the B&W shots.

David

Thank you very much David - yes B&W works very well with fog, especially for creating an eery/ghostly/mysterious atmosphere, which is what I was trying to do with most of the shots.

Thank you very much Rui. Yes, I rarely get a chance to go out in fog here, but I found it quite a peaceful, calming, mysterious experience. Quite awesome actually. Thanks for visiting the first topics also .

Athena,

Three more very good images, I very much like the subtle B&W processing in shot #2, would make a great wall poster.

I'm just waiting for a bit of mist here in Staffordshire to have a go myself

Best,

David

 

[Athena]

Thank you very much David . Yes, I thought no. 2 would look good on the wall also. I didn't actually process the pictures into B&W later, they're all as they are out of the camera (shot in B&W, HCB&W and colour in 'MY' settings) in 3:2 format. All I did was fix the contrast slightly on some of the pictures and slightly cropped a few of them. Also resized for posting.

Looking forward to seeing your pics when you get the chance to go out in the fog .
