It was foggy all day up on top of Fort Mountain near Ellijay, GA. Shot a few sheets around looking for compositions in the fog.
Here's one I shot with my 58mm XL:
Come and see what I have done up and until now at www.neilsphotography.co.uk
Thanks Gary. In south GA fog wasn't very common and didn't hand around for long. Now up in the mountains things are a bit different! At this location it wasn't fog so much as literally clouds up on top of the mountain, which was pretty cool. It stuck around all day - saw it in the morning when I passed going elsewhere, and then when I was coming back it was still a white-out so I had to stop and shoot a half-dozen sheets.
After scanning the rest this one is my favorite from the afternoon and I will probably print this to 16x20:
This is great. The vertical in the middle is bold and centers my eye before it wanders the composition. The fog works well (I'm used to it) here for creating depth and separating the trees from an otherwise tonally similar background. And rocks and leave are always interesting too.
Thanks jp, and thanks for mentioning the vertical tree in the middle. That bugged me when I was there as I was looking around for the best angle. I went with it there and now it is kinda growing on me. I loved the giant granite rocks stacked up in the background.
Perfect lighting and the Pyrocat is helping with edge separation. This and the other dark image you posted remind me of the Charlie Daniel's song Wooly Swamp.
on certain nights if the moon is right
And you're down by the dark footpath
You can hear three young men screaming
And you can hear that old man laugh.
The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
