Early Light and Fog

Gallery: LandscapePosted January 1, 2012472 views23 comments

This is a picture I made this past fall along the Wisconsin River backwaters. I enjoyed the warm sunrise light with the fog and the way it looked with the leaves of this tree. I have always loved these kind of quiet and peaceful mornings. Thanks for looking and any thoughts, and Happy New Year to all of you.

Love the light backlighting the leaves and the fog. Also like the nice separation of the tree from the background provided by the fog. Beautiful autumn image, Nick. And Happy New Year to you as well.

Great composition Nick. I especially like the fg. Your recent images have consistantly expressed serenity from what upon first glance may seem busy and chaotic. Nice work, and have a great New Year.

Looks wonderfully peaceful, Nick. The combo of bright trees and foggy background is really attractive, now just cue the meditation CD or the Native American Flute music.

This is beautiful, Nick. The light, colors, and fog create combine nicely to give this a peaceful mood.

When I look closely at the larger image, it seems to be tilting CW (noticeable in the rear shoreline), but no one else mentioned this, and maybe this is an optical illusion.

Hard to argue with light like that! Glad you found a spot for the capture. I don't have a single nit here except the lack of a Moose or at least Duck of something...

Nick: I knew this was one of yours with just a glance at the thumbnail. The light through the fog is wonderful and the composition is great too. This is definitely your style.

Gorgeous light and wonderful mood Nick. Several have said it already, but I'll say it again, very painterly and classic scene filled with beautiful light.

Nick, you handled the lighting exceptionally in my opinion. I can experience all the serenity of this wonderful autumn scene. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much for all of your thoughts on this one so far! It was a wonderful and peaceful autumn morning to be out in the woods. I'm glad some of that feeling came through with this image. Thanks! Nick
Marc, I couldn't get my moose to go with me that morning!

Mark S. The Native American Flute Music sounds perfect to me!
Scott, I think it is level but I will take a closer look again. I know the river curves around there and it does make it look like it has a bit of cw tilt. Maybe it could use a little ccw rotation so I will look at it. Thanks much!
A great new year to all of you!

The warm light and rising mist reinforce the quiet mood in this wonderful scene, Nick. This is very nicely done!

Nick,

Beautiful. It's all about the light. A cliche perhaps, but images like this make it all true.
