p.1 #1 · Tuesday Study in the Fog


Inspired by Ken's excellent "Weekend Study of Light"... Here's the other end of the spectrum to shooting in the golden light we all love.

D300 and 70-300 VR making the most of any and all available light.

Thanks for looking... all C&C are greatly encouraged and very much appreciated.

Ah, it makes me realize once again that BC is still photograph-able even in the foggy mornings, which it was when I drove by on Monday then high-tailed it to a Golden Glow SJWS. The light on the Curlew is stunning and my favorite, but all excellent work, Kirk.

Best Wishes,
Steve

Ah, I'm very glad that you went out in the fog. These are really very wonderful foggy grey, grey-bird shots. 1 and 2 are my top picks here.

excellent series kirk. good job with the mud crawling on the dowitcher and sanderling shots. i really like the grey color tones. the fog and grey color tones works great to isolate the subjects.

Kirk -
When I saw the foggy surroundings as I was driving in to work in the morning, I was thinking that I wouldn't be missing much by having to go in to work. From the look of your post here ............. Boy, was I wrong!
Those Sandpiper shots are outstanding. Love the low angle and the color rendition. and speaking of colors ................ the Curlew in golden light was also outstanding.
You're making me very resentful of the fact that I'm stuck going in to work, and that I also will not get a chance to shoot this weekend because of other committments.

Looks like a progression from low light to nice light to me Even though you knew some of these wouldn't have any real 'snap' to them it shows that you took your time and worked on angle and comps. Fine use of what light there was Kirk I liked the first six as a series, nice job on all of them.

I like #8 most, very appealing to me, tonal range and pose and separation and reflection. Pelis are cool, and the light of the last one is pleasingly warm though the angle is a bit awkward for me

Good stuff buddy!

Fantastic work Kirk! I love fog shots and these are spectacular As you can see from the comments they aren't for everybody but I just love them. Good on you for getting out there and shooting on a day that isn't "perfect". That said the curlew is pretty spectacular!

To notch work buddy!!
