Foggy Kap River

Gallery: LandscapePosted March 31, 2013195 views15 comments

Took this image in early morning last fall in a heavy fog on Kap River in Northern Ontario. One exposure processed in Camera Raw and CS6, Due to the fog, the image naturally has a sepia tome but for better consistancy, I converted in black and white and then sapia. Any comments regarding composition, contrast or anything else would be greatly appreciated.

They're both very good but diferent images expressing different moods. I like the blue. Is there some halos at the trees on the right or am I seeing things? Beautiful images very natural and earthy.

Fabulous atmosphere and image! I like the sepia version best. Great job.

Maybe a tad too much halo on the right main trees?

Moody and eerie - fantastic. I'm not usually a sepia fan, but I think it works for this. With the sun in the image, I'm leaning toward the 1st post as it makes sense to have a warmer feel. The blue is nice as well. Have you tried a straight B&W conversion?

Very nice mood in this scene Michel. I always enjoy fog images and this is very nicely done. Prefer the sepia but both are great.

I definitely like the blue one more, but I'm no fan of sepia... I do think I see three dust particles above the trees as well. But a very nice image!

Many thanks for your comments everyone. Mark and Bruce, thanks for pointing out the halos...some over sharpening there and I will certainly clean up the image better Roel. In terms of the sepia vs blue comments, I thought I would post the original colour version before I did the black and white conversion. As for trying it out in B&W....I'll need more time to experiment with that version but will do. Thanks again!

That's funny, I actually like this one the most! I really like the gradients in the sky and water.

Beautiful. I'm usually not a big fan of sepia toned images, but this fits perfectly. I much prefer the B&W rendering. So moody and inviting.

I liked the sepia toning more than the blue, but the color version is actually my favorite. Also, the composition works very well for me. A great mood and moment you captured here.
