Description


This is from 2013, when we still had our place near Picnic Point in Washington. Fog like this isn't an every day occurrence, and we were lucky to be at the beach on such a pea-soup day! I see photography as a starting point for my art, Pretty much everything in my gallery has had something done to it, even if it's just a crop and contrast adjustment. Most of the time I do a lot more than that. Working in Photoshop is what's fun for me. When I get a good shot that doesn't need any work, I'm sort of bummed. This is one of those shots. Actually, there probably isn't another shot like this in my gallery. All I did was change the size from 4000 x 3000 to 2000 x 1500 to make it easier to view on the screen. No crop, no postwork, no nothing. Not the tiniest little tweak. This is a color shot, straight out of the camera.

This is a wonderful example of a foggy day. All the foliage is in silhouette and the sky is dominated by a diffused blob of a sun. It is not until you zoom in that you can see human figures walking around in the fog. There is more here than just fog.

even with the sun attempting to shine through the fog, this is a delightfully creepy scene - thanks for sharing this one with us.

I'm with you Tara - I look at the photos I take as raw material & turning them into something better in Photoshop as being the most fun, interesting, creative part of the process. That being said, I think you did well to recognize that you had a unique photo that was perfect right out of the camera. Wonderful light, atmosphere & composition here & while you might have been able to turn it into something appealing with additional postwork, you probably couldn't have improved on the original...

A very beautiful capture that feels like it could have been taken from our window. We have been having a lot of seafog lately, it just rolls in and after a while it just disappears. This shot looks perfect with no editing. 😀

Ditto the above---this is splendid. And whether you 'thought' about the shot or just took it by intuition, your eye was speaking to the gods that day. Beautiful rich fog, with that sun coming to us in wonderful soft whites. And, while it's color---you say you didn't touch a thing---you got a natural, un-postworked, soft green-tinted gray, almost silver, and it's just splendid. And behind the silhouetted trees? A winding path (maybe a river?), and a lone person standing on a little jetty way in the distance: Just perfect. That person makes the shot: As little as he/she is, they just make the shot, as if all of nature is zeroing-in on one lone person taking in the infinite, on the precipice of infinity...Gorgeous work, Tara.

(I'm about to post a fog shot---it's old, and there's postwork. Don't take it as an effort to match yours: It's part of a series I did for a charity assignment earlier tonight, and it couldn't match the wholeness and spontaneous light of this if it tried. This is wonderful. If you have more like it, please share...)

Ethereal and lovely. I'm with you and Claude, I enjoy the postwork too much to give it up.

This is breathtakingly beautiful, dear Tara. Haha, and what must you have been disappointed, no post work, nothing; but the lines, the fallen tree, the little bit of green (on the) left, the persons as shadow figures silhouetted in their sort of "advance", the Alnus glutinosa ( common alder, or what it is) as a graceful frame in the foreground, so nicely signed off. A magnificent image, full of mood, of a subdued scene and nature, just barely hidden from view.

Well, this is a most perfect shot. The fantastic light, the fog and perspective and even the perfect clarity on the foreground branches you got in this beautiful Photograph. Love it. Bet it was very peaceful there.

This is a lovely foggy day photo, Tara. For some reason, I really do love a foggy day every now and then.

Indeed, working in Photoshop can be quite addicting, but you gotta be careful… Spend too much time with it, and your hair falls out, and you start writing long, rambling stories that never seem to end… Of course I don't know anybody like that. LOL
