One Foggy Day #5

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 19 February 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

The last shot (for now) from my trip to Langport last Wednesday, and my favourite I think!

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Great photo, DaveB.
It looks like this is the same place as yesterday's.
Though, I Love this moody image, too.

Superb, Dave. That reflection of the bridge is amazing.

Mmm old world charm is so, so appealing, I could stay there for quite a while. Bravo in this series Dave and I'm glad I have the opportunity of going back to see the other photos. Excellent mood shots!

@Helma: Thanks Helma

Jason Kravitz from Brussels, Belgium

I like the composition, mood and atmosphere but my only criticism is that it lacks contrast or is possibly a bit over-exposed. A slight curve adjustment might darken it up a bit and really make it pop.

@Jason Kravitz: Thanks for the feedback Jason, I know what you mean about the colour, but I wanted to keep them a bit muted to reflect what the day was like!

Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa

Definitely my favorite from this series, I love the mirror reflection of the bridge. The composition, mood and colours are marvelous. Almost like a painting, great shot.

@Graham Russon: Thanks Graham

standley from brou-sur-chantereine, France

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom

Great atmosphere, I really like the haunting mist and again the reflection. My favourites of the series are 1 & 2 :)

@MaryB: Each to their own Mary! :)

amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada

Ah, now this one is my favourite. Very nicely framed and that reflection of the bridge is the best. Love the softness the dissipating fog lends this.

@amy: Thanks Amy

Betty from United States

This is a great shot, wonderful composition. Love the reflection. This one is my favorite! Beautiful.

@Betty: Thanks Betty

drphoto from Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

Yes it has been very foggy recently; I'm glad someone is making use of it!

I like this shot but do feel you could have boosted the contrast without losing the atmosphere and I can't decide if the bridge is on a slope or the horizon is off! Which is it Dave?!

@drphoto: I don't think the horizons off looking at it, it must be the bridge! I'm not usually up early enough to shoot in the fog, so it was a nice change!

Anne from White Rock, BC, Canada

Lovely image with a really moody bit of fog! The first thing I noticed was that the bridge doesn't look straight! But, maybe the bridge is not perfectly straight!! The trees on the left are perfectly vertical with the edge of the photo - so I don't believe it is camera tilt. However, you could maybe pull up just the one side using the perspective crop or something, so that the bridge doesn't appear to be leaning down to the right. More contrast would make it pop more - but too much might darken the water so that your reflection darkens too much! I like it anyway simply because it is soft and moody! ;-)

@Anne: Thanks for the feeback Anne, I'm pretty happy with the softness in the shot!

Eric Rousset from Grasse, France

Mhhmm...So mystic...Nice mood !!
