First Autumn Fog

by

Today was the first high quality fog of this autumn. The weather abruptly got colder and the clear night sky resulted in a slightly freezing morning. Conditions perfect, not so timing. I had only about 10 minutes to briefly check one favorite location at the pond, where the fog usually lasts quite long.

I have several older photos from this place, so I tried a bit different angle today. The composition is somehow strange, yet I like it. The foggy shore in the distance is centered, while the leaves are in a third and trunk in golden cut. The image is not cropped, just slight move to any side and it will be destroyed it by some annoying element.

Autumnal Forest with Fern

Autumnal forests are among my favorite photography topics. Colorful leaves and foggy weather provide lot of opportunities, unlike the summer with dull colors and intensive daylight. On the other hand, it is often cold, wet and a bit too dark. And do not forget the CPL filter, it is a true game changer for wet foliage.

Despite this compositions might look quite simple, getting such conditions is a different story. The Beech leaves have the right yellow colors only few days before they turn brown. And of course dense fog is not available every day.

Rainy Forest

I discovered a nice rocky area hidden in the mixed forest recently. The rugged landscape, mossy boulders, various trees and in some places also lovely ferns provide a lot of opportunities.

It did not take too long until some August rain and fog. The fog was not dense enough for my plans, but still I managed to try couple promising shots. This foggy forest with big boulder in the foreground was best in my opinion.

This place is quite close to my house, so I will definitely explore this area a bit more.
