A foggy Melb morning...

Decided to take my camera into work this morning and caught a couple of shots of the fog as it made it's way over the city.

Not that I've been, but that second photo reminds me of Central Park in New York for some insane reason...

Thanks Jase :-)

I'm using a slightly converted version of a Fred Miranda Frame and I manually include the EXIF info using the text tool.

I generally only work on one photo at a time (rarely batch process), so I can afford to be a little more "manual", so to speak.

nice images. I wish I had more time to shoot when I am walking to work.

I walk over the Telstra dome - Bourke st bridge at 5:30am every morning and this morning the fog was making some great light from the blue lights of the rialto towers.

I'll have to go in a few minutes early one day.

These are beautiful, Dave! I wanted to do the same over the weekend when someone was home to look after the kids..........NO FOG!! Typical! Tommorow morning should be a good one, might have to go somewhere with the kiddies in tow!

I really love the 2nd one, it's eerie!

Wow, Dave these are great! The way the light is trickling over some buildings while the fog drifts over... The rolling fog in the second... They've both really captured the feeling very well...

Take you camera along for the ride more often, these are worth printing and framing...

thanks to everyone for your comments.

I was really happy with the 2nd one and will certainly print it out.

It pays to take your camera when you can manage it. If you find you get home and have only one keeper, it was still worth the effort.

Now I finally have my Mini Trekker backpack, bringing the camera to work is so much easier (and conspicuous), compared to the aluminium hard-case I used to carry it around in, which made everyone stare.... :oops:

Great shots Aussie Dave.

The Herald Sun had a couple in the paper today showing the fog, yours are way better though. :)

What time of the morning did you take them?

From memory it was somewhere between 7.30 - 8am.

Looks like I picked the best day. Out the windows this morning were just a blanket of white.
