Misty Lake

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Early morning misty shots. Not 100% happy with these, but want to post something to get feedback on. Any tips for best capturing fog?

No.2 actually taken by my better half (it's the better of the two...don't you think??).

I agree that #2 is the nicer of the two.
You may get better shots a little earlier and colder, brrrrr, when the fog is thicker.
You can also get some wild sun rise type shots with the fog in play.

Second one is better I think... if you are desperate one could 'add' the fog but hey it's much more fun to photograph as it happens..

I thought I would hazard an attempt to recreate what you saw instead of what the camera saw ;)

Why you....Ekto Gamat! :x

Nah just joshin :) , PP on my images is fine. Nice work - I do like the result.


Actually the posted image is pretty accurate to how things looked. Whilst the fog was very thick that day, it had rapidly started lifting and had just about cleared away by the time we'd set up. But here in sunny Canberra, I'm sure I'll get plenty more opportunities for fog shots before the winter is through.
