Day 32- Chasing Fog

It’s  February 1- Day 32!  I guess that means I am 1/12 of the way to my goal of taking a photo every day for one year!

I almost blew it this morning, though.  On my way to the gym, I saw a photo opportunity- wispy fog curling around trees, something I’ve wanted to photograph.  But alas . . . no camera in the car!  I had vowed when this project began that I would never leave home without a camera- and here I was, camera-less.  I decided exercise was more important than photography at the moment, so I continued on.

When I reached home, I grabbed my camera and headed back out in search of photo-worthy fog- not too easy to find!  I drove around our now sunny neighborhood hills looking for view shots and eventually found myself down by the water, where I snapped this image of a ship emerging from the fog.

I uploaded it first in color, but I really like it better in black and white. I chose the red filter option- it brings back the days when I used an actual (not virtual) red filter on my film camera.
