Fog Pictures

[drisley]

On Saturday night, we had an unusually warm winter evening. The result was some of the thickest and nicest looking fog I've seen in a long time (it's rare here).

So, I went out and snapped a couple of pictures.
After seeing a couple beautiful pictures here combining dual exposures to increase dynamic range, I thought I would give it a try.

In both scenes the lights are VERY bright compared to the rest of the scene. The result were big, overblown, glowing orbs *l*. The dual exposure sure helped alot, but the lights are still very bright. To be exact, I used triple exposures with the G3 auto bracket feature. This also helped bring out some of the detail in the shadows.

Most street lighting (here anyway) is very orange. So I decided to make the pictures B&W.

Nice pictures

What aperture & shutter speed did you use, if you don't mind me asking.

Yes, I DO mind!

*lol*

Actually, as mentioned, I used 3 exposures for each and then combined.


I put the pix and exifs here to view (http://www.mts.net/~lftbrain/html/index.htm)

I believe you can't upload a picture to this forum, only make a link to the picture that's somewhere on some webserver or embed this picture.
To do this, simply look in the help of the forum or click on the 'reply with quote' button under a message to see the 'raw' message and copy the things needed :D

I like these Nightly Fog Pictures.
They remind me of Brassaï (look here... http://www.masters-of-photography.com/B/brassai/brassai.html)

You actually link to a server with the pictures (look in HELP)

The method that I used to combine exposures can be found here:
