Temperature Inversion

[Ken Rennie]

Knowing how the conditions will change is one of the advantages of shooting close to home in an often visited area. The forecast looked as though an inversion was possible and it turned out as predicted. The only problem, apart from the temperature, was standing around for a couple of hours waiting for the sun to start shifting the mist and when it started it went very fast from almost zero visibility to bright sunshine but I saw this and had enough time to get a few shots with a long lens.

I love both of these but in particular the second one with the very symmetrical tree and its reflection.

That second one is print worthy Ken. The first is nice as well with the tree tops peeking behind the mist.

Wow! So cool Ken! It is really great when we know our local areas and how weather affects them. It's amazing just how fast it can go from foggy too bright. #2 is my favorite.

Ken, I am very glad that you stood out there for hours. I really like #1 & wonder how it would look in B&W. It has much more drama than #2 (which is very nice, too, don't get me wrong)

Monika I have tried B&W but can't make it work with this image perhaps because the hillside is given detail by the blue shadows and warmer highlights and because of the very soft light the luminence of the 2 areas is almost identical so a mono version becomes top and bottom a largely low contrast area with little or no detail.

I like the subtle difference in story. I'm more partial to #2 with the extra layer of the near shore.
