Aerial Landscapes III – Low Lying Fog
I had a lot of fun taking these landscapes of low-lying marine fog clinging to the shoreline and twined around and through a small archipelago. It’s not everyday that one gets a low angle overview of wonderful scenery like this.

You will have guessed by now that these are details from the photos I took of storm waves, others that are not zoomed in I featured last Friday. I love how the moving water in long exposures starts to look like fog and how it fills the lower spaces where the water is moving in and out.
These are a companion to earlier aerial landscapes that you can find here and here.

All images taken with 50mm/1.4 Canon lense on Canon 5DMkii. All taken at ISO100, with polarizing filter to cut the light, at the end of the day in low light conditions.
- Top image: f18 @ 30 seconds.
- Second: f13 @ 8 seconds.
- Third: f13 @ 8 seconds.
- Fourth: f13 @ 6 seconds.
- Bottom: f18@20 seconds.

Hi Juanita – we do have fog sometimes, but in this case I had a howling wind storm and I am not sure that I would generally prefer a bit of frost.

Thank you Dawn and welcome to my blog. Doug at words4it has been a big supporter and provider of very useful advice as I launch into this blogging world. I have been browsing your blog and am amazed at the diversity of images and interests that you have. For the blogging world, you are nearly a neighbour – if you squint your eyes into the distance in the post from yesterday you can just about see Puget Sound.

I like the foggy look you get with the long exposures. It’s a nice compliment with the rocks in the foreground.

Hi Ken – I missed a couple of comments. Makes me wonder how often that happens.. I really like the foggy look. Messing with time and getting a new bit of information in a photo is really a lot of time. Probably something well worth exploring. Should probably get an ND filter or two, but don’t know where to start in terms of which density, etc. Research time coming up 🙂

For an inlander like me, these images are of another world. Nothing I’ve seen on the Great Lakes comes close to them. They have a wonderfully etherial quality and I love the soft light.

Thanks Doug – this is quite a familiar type of landscape for this part of the world – there are archipelagos of small islands packed in tightly and they do have fog around them quite often. Thanks for the pingback to your own miniature landscape in a pothole which really is a very different shoreline than this one.

Hi Story – I like that the fog is a memory of waves and spray which reminds of fog settled on land and sea.

The fog makes me think of ghosts from the Chinese cemetery. They hang around the waters edge hoping to see a ship which will take them back to China.

Hi Valerie – I would not be surprised. There were many bones left stranded in the nearby Chinese cemetery by the Sino-Japanese war in the late 1930’s that are still waiting for their lift back to their home provinces.

Hi Mathias – thanks so much. I think that texture/surface ‘grain’ is a combination of the really low light, the hard crop, a bit of sharpening to make the seaweed look more like distant tree tops and all the spray in the air.
