Foggy Morning at the Bridge

[AlanLichty]

From the first fall I got to shoot at the Portland Japanese Garden in 2008 with my old Canon 5D. A bit closer in to the bridge than my later shots of this area in the garden with a better view of the bridge. Early fall with most of the colors yet to come.

C&C always welcome.

Edit - cleanup to remove some leaves and dust spots that Jameel pointed out:

Thanks Jim - that garden takes on a whole different mood with fog like this.

Thanks Alisa - and happily as quiet as it looks.

Lovely image Alan. The fog adds a nice mood to this scene.

Have you considered cloning out those leaves at the top (near center) of the frame? There also appears to be dust spot under those leaves as well.

Thanks Jameel - I can't believe I missed that dust bunny up at the top. It was quite obvious once you pointed it out. I removed those leaves (good suggestion) and found two more dust bunnies at the same time. The original 5D was highly prone to sensor dust.

The edit looks great. Print worthy even.

so calm and serene looking. it still amazes me how many different photos you were able to get from the same place.

Thanks - I paid for a photographer membership that covered entrance fees for the year and let me come in two hours before the general public. When you go into a garden area like this there is really no end to the number of ways you can shoot it. The light and the weather was never the same twice so each visit was a new opportunity to see it all over again.
