drifting through the mist by ltodd

drifting through the mist

I have never really photographed mist or fog terribly well, so I stopped at the picnic grounds on the way to work this morning to get some practice. With only one vantage point to stand, and having to shoot almost directly into the sun on my left, I had taken 2 shots before I noticed the bonus element of a hot air balloon emerging from the fog. :D
The light was very grey and this shot has not had any desaturation applied. I've given it a go, and any suggestions on how to expose for fog will be welcomed!
Oh this is just magical Lyn. The fog rising from the water and the balloon are fantastic. Well done for a first try!!

@denisedaly @lynnb @simster thankyou all for your kind comments, I find landscapes are still a challenge, so I do really appreciate the encouragement. :D
