Of all the places in the UK today.....
I picked Martin Mere which was fog bound while everywhere else was bathed in glorious sunshine :mad:

Only spent an hour or so there as the fog seemed to be getting thicker as the day wore on.

Here's a couple of whoopers that passed by the foggy hide.

D2X 300 f/2.8 VR 1/800 @ f/6.3

Well, for what it's worth....I like this MUCH better than flightshots against blue skies. An excellent shot John. :toast:

Never mind John, you got something out of adversity - it's actually a quite visually pleasing shot. Sometimes less is more :smile:

Probably going to take a chance on the Solway today - forecast is for cloud and mist...let's see what happens.

The fog has done you a favour, John. Much more atmospheric than a blue-sky shot. Lovely!

This photo has an etherial quality which IMHO raises it way above the norm. Excellent.

I like it, great to get one with wings up and the other down.

Works well for me too, and different from the norm - I suspect the ISO was higher than you'd have liked though, but fog and snow generally help mask this a touch more I find.

Superb shot John.The open beak is the icing on the cake.Definately wouldn't swap this beautiful,atmospheric and complementary backdrop for a blue sky.
