p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Foggy Nickerson Beach


Autumn is a time I’m always on the lookout for fog as it’s condition I love to take photos in. The nice soft light allows me to play with color, contrast and the lack of it. Sunday morning we had a nice thick mist falling and I headed to Nickerson Beach to see what I could find. I think I saw 3 people the whole morning allowing me to take my time with my work. It also allowed the birds to become used to me and eventually a pair of oystercatchers walked right up to me. That was a treat I have not had since March. I’ll share those photos another time.

In taking the photos I exposed to the right leaving some room above pure white in the histogram. As I processed these photos, I adjusted the blacks to get a nice look and something close to what I remember. Our minds play tricks with us in these types of conditions and sometimes we see a black that is not there.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Yes indeed Morris, shooting in the fog has its own rewards. Nice work keeping the foggy feel to these

Nice set Morris. I agree, a nice, thin fog can be fun to shoot in. When it gets heavy, and you cannot see anything 20 yards away, that can be tougher.
