I visited a Lotus pond and decided to try to capture the various stages of a Yellow Lotus's life. Please forgive me for posting so many photos in one post.

I really like this one Ray. The overhanging tree limbs drawing the eye into the image and the distant haze/fog renders a very nice background. Nicely seen!

Ray - That tree photograph is special, and the viewpoint lets me imagine it as a tree levitating, and for me hard to unsee. It's a great image!
Thanks Jay, Scott. It was a good morning for photos, what was planned to be a 30 minute "lets see if anything develops" turned into 90 minutes or so, with a pleasurable walk on a beautiful morning thrown in as well. This one below with the 55mm f2.8 AIS Micro.
Ray,
Love all these mist - cough cough - photos. The Canadian smoke is back by me the last couple days.

I love this one, Jay. Think a PC Nikkor was used, if so which one? I'm suddenly more curious about PC Nikkors after the build we are doing at home. Can never take pictures I'm happy with unless I back so far away I lose interest.

Thank you!
I used my favorite lens, the 24mm f/3.5 PC-E that I rarely dismount.
This focal length is not a cure for a wide uninteresting view but it helps me consider the 3D aspects of a scene.
I did notice a curious problem when house hunting, though, that you should think about. When I revisited prospects after looking at my photos, I was always surprised at how much smaller the physical rooms were.
So, for many interiors, it tends to exaggerate size and spaciousness.

Jim this was truly mist/fog, everything was wet and it burned off as the morning went on. Fortunately, the wildfire smoke impact locally has been minor of late after a couple of bad weeks in early July.

Ray, you can absolutely feel the atmosphere and smell the vegetation! Wish I was there staring at that scene!

Thanks Mary. I sometime forget how special this park can be since we go there so much. I'm working on finishing up a 20mm AI shot to share, and then also a pano stitch from that morning.

I've been enjoying all of your early morning pics of late.
Thanks Leighton. Funny thing is it's very few morning opportunities, I just process them and sit on them a little to see if I want to portray a different vision, or try to remember what it was out there that captured my attention.

Thanks Luka. Mist does help with the dense underbrush in the area, and the light diffusion is key as well.

Aaah, another excellent one from your Misty morning pictures bag. Lovely.
I figured you were a fog/mist type of person. My next task is to figure out how to effectively shoot in the rain and convey that feel.
