We are back to Salem Lake sunrise pictures. I have a few of them left and going to share in the next couple month. This is the place where they put their boats in the water. A few of them were put there that morning before I took this photo and another car was pulling in as I was taking the photo, so I had to get out and clear the driveway. It was super foggy there, with lake still being warm from the summer and air chilling, with sun rising it was one big foggy paradise.
Over the next few month I’m going to experiment with creating video presentations showing how I do some things, hopefully it will improve my techniques and might help someone else. Today was first experimental post.
This is the second photo in this series, check out the first one here Salem Lake Foggy Sunrise #1. I used Photomatix 4 and CS5 to produce this photo. Let me know what you think.
Opportunities to take sunrise fog pictures are not too often. I think here in NC it mostly happens in the fall, when the ground or water bodies are still warm and air get chilled during the night. As sun shows up and temps get warmer the fog is rising and gives us wonderful views.
This year I managed to make one early morning trip to the lake and captured a few foggy sunrise photos. I kind of like them, so I’ll process them one by one over time and share it here. When I arrived at the lake, one of the first photos I took was with fishermen, sun was still not showing and the fog was thick but not super high. The following photo was taken probably about 30 minutes later, the sun was coming up and trying to break through the fog, but the fog was growing and was almost like white wall. Cool stuff. Let me know if you like the photo.
So I decided to get up early on Saturday and get some sunrise photos over the Salem Lake. This time of the year it is getting really foggy during morning hours and I wanted to see how its going to look. I wasn’t sure if they open the gates to little marina before sunrise, but to my surprise the gates were open and I saw about ten fishing boats leaving into the fog, one by one. I think they had some kind of fishing competition going on. Only if I could get there 5 minutes earlier, I thought, I would be able to get those boats in action. I still managed to get a few shots of the fishermen who decided to stay around marina, thanks guys.
