Misty Morning A.D. 2006

[Hawk]

I was recently browsing my photo archives from end of 2006. Back then I was happy owner of brand new Fuji FinePix S9600. My skills were at “point camera somewhere and shoot” level so if I managed to get a good shot it was pure luck. Below is one of my first images captured with Fuji S9600 and probably one of those lucky ones. It was taken right after sunrise thus colors may seem a bit unreal.



We have such mists quite often here when difference in night and day temperature is high, but I don’t have luck capturing them. They always show when I eihter forget to take camera with me or simply have no time to take pictures (I ususally see them on my way to work). Whenever wheather is right and I have time for photography they just don’t show up

I hope you won't mind posting non A-mount image

Hi Hawk - I like the subdued colours and the very interesting patterns of mist. I know what you mean about seeing picture opportunities when either without the camera or driving. My two most recent "missed opportunities" were an amazing sunset and an early evening moon rise - in both cases I was driving on the motorway making it difficult (and illegal!) to stop for photographs.

Thanks Birma. Yes, missed opportunities aren't what we like

Some of my more popular images are from before I knew what "A" mode was or even moved out of the scene modes on my Maxxum5. Ignorance can be so liberating that it lets us get a shot before we take the time to worry about "how do I get this shot right?" Whether or not you had any knowledge or familiarity with photography at the time, you had (and have) an eye for beauty and composition, and at least a half-decent camera (I love those Fuji bridge cameras, btw). This photo is a winner.

Nice one Hawk,

Something rare to come upon. Would look good in a larger size too.
