fog on the mountain
Sep 20, 2016 12:42:51 #
self explanatory, wet cold foggy, I half expected King Kong to appear. ( I know there is a halo on left mountain, the sun was there behind the fog. That's the problem with fog)

love it - love the ruggedness. This would be such a cool place to hang out taking in the changing conditions.

If you want to get totally soaked, continually wiping lenses, and have a complaining partner, it is fantastic. I took a full card, about 400 photos.

Agree with pfrancke, this is beautiful! Love the textural contrasts--great subject for b&w. Would enjoy seeing more. Appreciate, though, your reminders about the downsides. Hope you and the equipment came out OK.

Here you go!
Upsides were worth the downsides, spent about 90 minutes up there, didn't see one animal (that's what we were there for)

I especially like how that fog layers behind the trees. I am certain seeing animals would have been nice, but what you got is majestic! Thank you for giving us some more eye-candy.

Rugged beauty that I find so appealing! All three have interesting lines of terrain, trees, rock and fog. Where is this location?
Regarding pp:
#1 - I'm seeing some green on the right side, while all else appears monochrome.
#2 - similar issue + the trees about 2/3 way up are odd looking - too heavily sharpened or lightened or ?
#3 - in the V of the rocks, near foreground edge, are lighter-colored (tan, yellow?) shapes with nearly vertical lines of fog over them. What is that?

Thanks so much for the additional images, majestic indeed, as pfrancke said! Especially #2.
Now that Linda (Hawk-Eye :-) ) has mentioned it, I do see that green in the first, but obviously it didn't jump out at me or distract from the composition.

LOL - for what it is worth, I never thought these as B/W - looked like an incredible overcast/dreary day with very muted colors. I am thinking this has to be close to what he saw!

These are all color shots, the green is natural shrubs and scrubby trees, the tan/yellow you see is natural colored rock, with striations in the rock behind the fog. They look like grayscale but are not.
Location is St. Elias range, Yukon/Alaska border, Yukon side.

Yes, that is what it looked like. I thought about grayscale conversion then thought why bother!

Ah, none are so blind as those who would not see...the color. I was fooled--thanks for the teaching moment!

Very nice set, especially the first which has the flow of the fog to carry us through the image. I adore fog and nothing will get me out before daylight more easily. It is unfortunately rare here, but I wait for it.
I wasn't sure whether they were color images on a colorless day or whether you'd done what I've done sometimes, blend in a layer of the color version with the black and white version at a very low opacity to leave just a hint of color in there.
Good compositions with all those overlapping layers, and good management of tones in the contrasty areas. That little halo isn't much to worry about but if you hate it you can easily get rid of it. I would. I am a halo-hater so I go on full assault with every one I (or a sharpeyed critic) finds.

Well, randomeyes yelled at me for not including negative comments in my feedback of "Bike Rental," so I felt pressured
