Rare Morning Fog

Gallery: LandscapePosted June 2, 20177,109 views15 comments

Taken a couple of weeks ago in Central Utah. It rained pretty much all day and started to clear just at dusk. The following morning I had clear skies, but the story was the moisture laden badlands just before sunrise.

Your comments and critiques are greatly appreciated.

Magnificent. How fortunate that you were there to not only view, but also capture it. No nits at all.

Wonderful, gorgeous black and white. Kind of looks like waves on the sea. So much exquisite detail and tonal variation. Just superb, and I would guess an unusual look at central Utah.

Sweet. I love the layers in this scene along with the range of tones and the fog is the icing on the cake, Gary. Beautiful image.

That's quite unique for the desert, Gary. Feels more like the Great Smoky Mountains. You were definitely in the right place to take it all in.

Outstanding assortment of layers, Gary. You retained nice details in the darker FG. I'm just curious, there is a darker band in the second tier of formations just above the FG at middle left, possibly a post processing issue (?) All the same, really nice work.

Nice image. I'm wondering, is there a way to convert the entire image to shades of the same color? I'm thinking of some warm color as opposed to the blues we see with the Blue Ridge Mountains. Or is that becoming too cliche now.

Wow, Gary, this is incredible. Absolutely incredible. The fog shrouded layers of this landscape seem to go on forever. Your composition with the long lens is perfect and your impeccable b/w processing, as always, could not be better. A stunning image. A large print of this must truly be jaw dropping.
