Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Through The Fog

When I got there it was foggy...

Then it got worse!!!

I was sitting patiently waiting for some wattlebirds to stop fighting and get into a position where I could see them... then the fog got worse and I couldn't see the tree 10m infront of me.... So I turned the lens down towards the pier.

This isn't anything like my usual subjects so would love to hear any comments... good, bad and ugly!!

I'd try making this high contrast so the black parts look like cutouts against a white background, more of a silhouette. It's a bit grey and not much of anything at the moment.

I agree with Chris on this one. Fog is fog and you have captured this pretty damn well.

Cheers

Paul,
That's much you can do when shooting thru fog.

Have you switched your fog lights on? :lol:

Looks like the Mornington Pier?

Haven't been there for years (I actually lived there for quite a while)

I've paid a few visits to this before commenting. There is something hauntingly beautiful about this image. There is so little detail yet it holds the viewer. I think this is a superb capture.
