It was very foggy this morning in Melbourne. Here are some pics I took at the Latrobe Uni lake. I have included a cobweb. Sorry......

These are wonderful! Love the cobweb, but I think #1 is my fav! Magical stuff! There is something always so eerie about fog.

Pity we didn't get any fog this morning, must have been concerntrated up the north. The CBD was shrouded, and I think the Airport suffered delays.

Beautiful pics....starting to look forward to the cold weather after seeing these (though a ripper thunderstorm wouldn't go astray :roll: )

nice shots. I like the spider web shot. It is so hard to find a decent web shot that turns out right. Well done.

as the airfield was no longer visable.

G'day mate,
That looks like a really interesting and photogenic spot, I'll have to for a wander around there one morning/evening...

That first shot is terrific, the fog makes the scene really moody, with some of the B&W stuff I've seen posted recently maybe that might be worth a try?

Cheers mate.

I love fog. It makes taking photos easier coz you don't have to worry about powerlines or ugly buildings in the distance and they add a 'mystique' quality to the shots. Try a couple of them in B&W and add a bit of noise to them as well, that will make the spooky too. :)

That cobweb is excellent.

Wow - love the spiderweb shot..brilliant :) I think spiders webs are one of the most amazing 'acts' of nature - they get these webs so perfectly created - spins me out (no pun intended) :)

Yep that web shot is the one for me. I spend ages looking for decent webs in the morning but I haven't found one that has form like that yet, plus the dew really sets it off nicely.

Excellent captures Meicw. Love them all but the web and #1 are favourites. I would have been sorely tempted to clone out the duck though... :wink:
