Thanks; the fortuitous foggy morning was the perfect assistant
Beautiful merging of photography with drawing or painting.
Thanks so much Lily. This longish prime lens I used has that “sound,” as it were. Especially in fog.
I see. And you’re most welcome.
Conversing too perhaps
That’s better yet…
Fine shot, John!
Thanks!
Stunning photo: two horizon lines and two vanishing points on separate floors?
Interesting way to look at it!
There’s a lot to like on this one. The tonal contrast between the different trees, the aerial perspective due to the fog, and the subtle framing with the tree trunks on both sides really work together. I really like the soft light and the slight leaning into the image on the tree trunk further back on the left side.
I like the way you unpacked the picture with such care. There’s a temptation to ratchet up the contrast in these situations, but had I done that, all of what you described would’ve evaporated. Thanks for your comment, Mic.
Beautifully thought out! One could really vanish in that fog.
I see your reply to Lily – the 75mm again?
And your reply to Mic is something it took me a while to figure out but eventually I did – reduce the contrast! Obviously, for my own photos it sometimes feels better to me to increase it but I associate the reduction in contrast “lesson” with your work and am thankful for it.
I’ve been using that 75mm more than any other lens of late. To clarify, I didn’t reduce contrast, I just left it alone.
Yes, this fog was dense as lentil soup.
That’s interesting about the lens. I’m using the 45mm f1.8 lately. I like its brightness when the days grow shorter – even when I’m not using it wide open (most of the time) it seems brighter than other lenses. There’s something nice about the way it renders color, too – or maybe I’m imagining that.
Since the 45mm is a slightly shorter focal length than the 60mm… maybe the receipts are a pleasant sense of light and openness?

Wonderful shades of gray creates amazing depth.

I think so…
