Looked outside this morning at work and it was gloomier than usual thanks to a fairly thick fog. Fog isn’t easy to work with but when it does work, it gives a wonderfully evocative look to the photographs.
So off to what has become my favorite go to location up here. Some monochrome, some color, all square ;)
Foggy enough that even the eagles didn’t care to fly…
Then, as Satty would put it, the drive home beckons…
Thanks for looking

Have you thought about going to the other side of the trestles to use them to frame the water?

Haven’t been able to find a path yet & can’t afford to rent a canoe. Still looking though, perhaps I should fire up google earth and see what the most recent sat shots show… hmm… :D

Well it looks like a beautiful subject that you can really work with. That’s such a blessing to have nearby. Some folks to seasonal repeats to show a place in a series of prints one for the peak beauty of each season. Nice work, I must admit I under appreciate that aspect ratio. That’s changing.

Thanks. I enjoy the discipline of working with the square. I do wish there were a digital TLR on days like this… :D My beat up Oly will do, though.
The other thing I’ve found useful over the years is repeatedly returning to a site and trying to find different ways of seeing it. If I were still using film, this would be a great place to try and catch as a thunderhead rolled in with a red filter in place, forex.
Your flame images are always different but a similar circumstance and I imagine provide a similar self discipline.
The seasonal thing is what I’d like to eventually do with it. Four prints, probably arranged in a square of squares ; ) Problem will be finding a digital printer to work with on the project.

March FavoritesYou've seen these all already but looking back, just because. These are my favorite shots of this last month. That 1937 Zeiss Sonnar is such a gloriously wonderful bit of glass. Thanks for looking.
