River Fog IV

PHOTOGRAPH INFO

This is the fourth photograph in a series of Delaware River fog shots. The fog has been around each morning for about two weeks now, although the density has changed from day to day.

I live 1.8 miles from the river's edge, and there are mornings when the fog is so heavy that I can't see out my front windows. On other days the fog lies directly above the water and nowhere else.

In the comments section from the first photo in this series, Bob asked for a horizontal shot of that same view. So this is a horizontal view to the right with a hair of overlap. Same camera settings (except focal length) but this photo has a warmer look.

Post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D and the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens at 70mm, ISO 400, f/13, shutter 1/250s. Curves adjustments and color balancing (+2 yellow and red to the highlights).

Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

Very nice Kathleen. I always love the fog when it rolls over the fields like this.

I love this series, the mist in the morning is always fantastic to see and you caught it beautifully as always.

Keep up the great work,
Darren

This series of shots is gorgeous! I love the subtle colors of the morning sky against the rich colors of the fields. The fog adds such a soft, transitional effect. Just beautiful Kathleen!

Great shot. It reminds me the stuffing escaping from the patchwork quilt my grandmother gave me.

Beautiful! These fog shots have been amazing. I've always found it difficult to get photos of fog that aren't washed out, these are so vibrant.

A little dramatic side lighting...fog machine...and bingo, Wonderland!.....Oh yes, somebody has to be there to see it--or it never happened...

Thanks for making it happen.

Kathleen,

The only time I'm disappointed in visiting your site is when you've not posted a new photo!

The Delaware river fog is hard to get a camera lens around, but you've done a very good job in capturing several lens's worth of it. I've been enjoying this sight mornings from Ballek/Steely Hill (best photo IMO is Stout's school), and it inspired a fall-off day before Fall (furthest point: Rough and Ready, PA).

Fog is always doing something different around here: sometimes the fog rolls in from the upper field straight into our living room. One time the paint peeled from the walls because of this.

I like this atmosphere. Beautiful morning ! Bravo.

You should consider yourself very lucky for managing to capture all this beauty.
