Aren't you smart ... :P
I can't argue with the results though. I think I know roughly your setup, and obviously the scene/atmosphere and framing are the most important but I guess you do have some secret sauce for the postprocessing too.

He seems to be not entirely without ability. I suspect that has something to do with it.

Stunning stuff, Bill. How early in the morning do you have to get up to catch the mist?

About 0745 through to about 1030, but the mist did its usual & came & went and then came & went again, rinse, repeat, finally clearing altogether about 10-ish. Slippery stuff, mist.

I agree.

Your misty forests are the best, Bill!

Hats off!

Post by: Kevin Gallagher on October 23, 2020, 08:47:37 am: Bill, my favorite is the first one as well. I mean this a very high compliment, that shot would be perfect for the cover of some sort of mystery novel!

Post by: Chairman Bill on October 23, 2020, 09:39:28 am: Thanks, everyone.

Yes, the first one is by far my favourite here & the one I'll print - quite big :-)
