The ice on Paper Goods Pond hasn't melted yet, but it was a relatively warm day, so this evening ice fog formed. It's eerie. The bottom picture is a stright shot of the pond, the ice and the fog. The second adds balancing elements with the reed in the foreground and the goose flying over the fog near the back. In the third, there's just the reeds in the front, but they present a stronger prensence than the single reed in the middle shot.
First snow of the season, but it was not a nice one: the fluffy stuff fell in the wee hours, but by the time morning arrived, it had changed to sleet and a cold nasty rain. By night, we did have snow fog and even lightning on the snow, which was spectacular. Throughout the day, however, the weather was better represented by these raindrops clinging to the eaves rather than by snow scenes. I used Mezzotint.Gaussian Blur, and Fog to create the misty background that was in the backyard this afternoon.
August 2: We had to go back up to NY State to collect the truck and the camper. We took advantage of the situation to take an extra day and camp at the KOA in Herkimer, one of our favorite campgrounds. In the evening as we sat by the fire, a mist rose up, gradually obscuring the trees. Using the Fog effect was a natural which showed the progression of the mist in a way my little point and shot could not capture.
Summer is late coming to New England. Intermittently, we have a few glorious days; but more often than not, the weather is chilly and damp. A sulky mist was hanging over the reservoir this afternoon. A subtle application of Green Tint and Fog softens the photos and gives it more of the sullen feeling of a drizzly day.
Fog hung over the orchard this afternoon. Using the Pencil Sketch effect gives the photo an extra sense of dampness and mist.
