Photograph info: This is another photograph from last Friday morning on Raubs Island.

I love shooting in the fog because you get a naturally monochromatic view of things that are normally in full color. I also love not knowing when the fog will disappear -- and having to hustle to accomplish any photographic goals I have.

The fog over the Delaware River dissipates quickly when it reaches its "tipping point" -- this was taken just 16 minutes before the photo in the previous post.

Camera settings and post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D and the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L lens at 24mm, ISO 160, f/4, 1/1600s. White balance adjustment (slightly warmer) and basic curves adjustment for contrast.

Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

That's absolutely gorgeous. Are the warm yellow tones coming from the sunlight or from the white balance adjustment? I love the fog and will be trying some photos next time there is any. Thanks for the ideas.

Down at the riverside, beauty does abound.
Fog cloaks the trees, merging sky with the ground.
The boy, the water, an endless supply of stones
Tossing one after another, his pitching arm he hones.

Zulq: Both - I have the white balance set to 'auto' on the 5D and it's just plain wrong on occasion, so I adjust in post to a more accurate temperature.

Ooooh! I really like the mood in this! It is just incredible how dramatically the scene changes in just a few minutes time when there is fog.

Underneath the nearest star,
a stone clinched in his fist.
What force does compel a man
to stone the empty mist?

Nice spread of cobbles. It would keep me busy for hours, yet this world only lasts for minutes.

Thanks for sharing your minutes!

Seems a bit surrealistic, probably because of the boy's movement captured in this strange position. Actually, he resembles the Sigur Ros's sign that I have on my T-shirt, the spooky sleepwalker: http://www.justcoffeeart.com/scandinavian/sleepwalker.jpg
I don't know why but Your best photos always make me think of music.

superb!

Cast your unique stone into the darkness, the mists of obscurity, created by those whose sole function is to distort, to confuse, to play on your emotion. Then, anxiously watch the ripple of your choices spread across the country and yes, across the world.

So, get your picture ID, get in line, exercise your right, vote your conscience and win or lose, be prepared to accept that which you have helped to create.

Great atmosphere. I too like single-color scenes like this one. Beautiful photo.

I really like this photo cause of how the person isn't in the center. He is slightly off to the side.

superbe. beau cliché, comme d'ailleurs beaucoup sur ton blog.

joyous shot.

I am in love of your mist (eries) I mean effects.
And also this lovely picture on the lake with such this creeping things on the water!
And also all I would see and comments in a too much long time but not thought.
