Mist…
Cool morning air collides with the surface of the lake, still warm from the previous day’s heat, to leave a blanket of mist hovering over-top.
This past week was spent at the family cottage in Northern Ontario. The lakeside property has been in the family for as long as I have seen days – that would be fifty-one years’ worth – and every year from then till now I have spent at least a portion of the summer there. We call the cottage “camp”, as do all who hail from that part of cottage country, and the Taylor camp has afforded the family immeasurable pleasure over the last half-century. But there are two pleasures that are particularly dear to me: the sound of the loons and early morning mists on glassy water surfaces, the latter being the subject of today’s post.
This first image was taken handheld from our canoe with the early morning sun behind me.
Early morning mist against the peninsula...
The second photograph shown below was also taken from the water and was also handheld. But in this case I was facing into the sun and opted for a high dynamic range version of the scene, which required that I bracket it over several stops. (In fact, this final image is an example of HDR combined with panoramic stitching.) I also found the final version most pleasing in black and white. (A somewhat larger rendering can be viewed from my flickr site, which better reveals the detail of the raft in the lower left portion of the photograph.)
More of the mist - this being a high dynamic range image...
Enjoy.
