Advertisement Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Hi Northwest Wanderer, Take a look here Foggy Morning. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Karl G Posted January 18, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 18, 2014 Bill, lovely atmosphere and quite the attentive and friendly horse with that ear position and gaze. Hopefully you had a carrot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwest Wanderer Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted January 18, 2014 Thank you Karl, No carrot, it was time to put out the morning hay. He also knows I always have treats in my coveralls pocket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted January 19, 2014 Share #4 Posted January 19, 2014 Bill, A great shot with the atmosphere. A horse that you can count on, and he on you. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwest Wanderer Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted January 19, 2014 Thank you Paul, It's been foggy for almost a week straight in my area. The gray horse looks ghostlike when he's far out in a pasture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenton C Posted January 19, 2014 Share #6 Posted January 19, 2014 That's a striking photo Bill. I'm guessing you were stopped down so the fog, rather than bokeh does the work of progressively diminishing background sharpness. I really enjoy this effect, as my eye is first drawn to the horse, but then as I look, the picture just seems to invite me to look into the fog.

I took the image at f/8, 1/125sec, 108mm using a V-Lux 4 You're correct about how I shot it. I needed it sharp to keep the trees in the background from being lost in the heavy fog. Glad you enjoyed the image. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenton C Posted January 19, 2014 Share #9 Posted January 19, 2014 Bill, Thanks for confirming your depth of foggy field intent here. You've taught me something with this photo that I'll hope to remember when I get my own foggy morning opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

albert Posted January 20, 2014 Share #11 Posted January 20, 2014 Bill, Thanks for the lesson as well as the beautiful and eerie photograph. We used to call the white substance on the wires: hoarfrost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwest Wanderer Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share #12 Posted January 20, 2014 Bill, Thanks for the lesson as well as the beautiful and eerie photograph. We used to call the white substance on the wires: hoarfrost. Albert, It is hoarfrost. We have had freezing fog & a buildup of hoarfrost every day for the past week. I've been photographing the hoarfrost but it's so thick it looks unreal. I've never seen it as heavy before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allamande Posted January 22, 2014 Share #13 Posted January 22, 2014 Bill, You managed to make this look like an impromptu painting. He might be thinking "hurry up, already" Much enjoyed seeing this. Great work! Ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwest Wanderer Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share #14 Posted January 22, 2014 Ece, thank you. The horse really enjoys having his picture taken. His gray coat worked well with the gray sky and background. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduna Posted January 22, 2014 Share #15 Posted January 22, 2014 Bill, great shot. The horse is such a unit with the foggy landscape that is is appearing as if being from a fairy tale, looking curious at the other world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwest Wanderer Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share #16 Posted January 22, 2014 Iduna, thank you. The horse is named Sage. We've had him since he was 1 year old. He is a very curious and gentle animal. Glad you liked the image. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
