Smoke Filter
Aug 28, 2018 14:28:02 #
A smoke filter is not something you can purchase at your local camera store. Folks living in the western states know the photographic effects of the smoky skies we have experienced in the past two years. These photos were taken form the East Bay hills looking west over the San Francisco Bay. The first shot of the sun setting over Mt Tamalpais was taken last Sept. during the Napa/Sonoma fires. The others were taken from the same POV in June of this year. They show the high smoke cloud moving in from the north as the fog rolls in to cover the bay. As the sun moved through the layers of smoke it changed the color of the fog and indeed the light itself! Beautiful, eerie and sad. Nothing was done in post processing to augment these colors.

A very nice interesting set Phil, even it makes a spectacular sunset, lets hope that is the end of it.

Thanks very much Mike. As you know Sept and Oct are the critical months for the east bay hills. I'll be happy when we get some rains.

Very beautiful, Phil, but wouldn't want the stress of being so close to the fires. I hope all is well at your home.

Thank you Donna. All is well here, but as I mentioned to Mike, some early fall rains will be very welcome!
