Here is another image from last week, taken next door to my son’s school in Ahwahnee. The fog was gone a few minutes later…

Last week, we had some wonderful mornings of fog at sunrise. After dropping my son off at school, I walked into the nearby field of Ahwahnee Hills Regional Park. This image continues my Morning Light series, most of which I’ve photographed after taking my kids to school! I will have one or two more to share from this morning, as soon as I find time finish post-processing… Let me know your thoughts.
Enjoy! Bill

Last week, I traveled with my family on a camping trip to the Bandon area of the Oregon coast. It was cold and windy, which not unusual and a refreshing break from the heat here. If you’ve been to my Facebook page, I’ve already posted a very foggy image from the first evening there. The next two evenings, I was on the main Bandon beach, photographing in the wind and fog. Heaven!
For the image above, I used a Singh Ray Vari-ND to get more blurring action. There were some subtle tones in the sky, but the monochrome evening lent itself to Black and White. John O’Conner did a wonderful job of doing the conversion and bringing out the textures in the surf and rocks that I wanted to show.
In case you missed it, here is the image from the first session. More to come from this trip!

Yesterday we had a wonderful morning of fog after the night’s rain storm. I have driven by this location many times in the past, made note of its potential, and finally got myself over there after the morning’s usual parental duties! Unfortunately, I started out with the wrong lens so I lost some good light making the short dash back to my vehicle to grab my Canon 24mm Tilt Shift lens. Happily, the fog was still great as I exposed this image. The lens was shifted up to near its highest position to maintain proper perspective and avoid convergence of the trees. Also, I positioned the sun so that it was mostly blocked by the tree, with just a tiny bit of light showing through my viewfinder.
Enjoy! Bill

Last week, my family and I traveled to the Monterey coast for a short vacation. I returned to one of my favorite subjects there – the endangered Monterey Pines. Very fortunately, there was thick fog that makes this subject so appealing to me. This image is made of three frames, Merged to Panoramic in Photoshop.
We have many more images to edit and process, so stay tuned for more.
One thing I did learn – I am out of practice! I made so many mistakes. Sometimes it feels like the movie Groundhog Day – making the same mistakes over and over. Got to get out to photograph more often!
Ride the Light, Bill
