When I was on Read Island a couple of weeks ago it was in the middle of a long week of dense fog on this coast. Read Island was at the edge of the worst of it, coming in and out of the fog a few times a day. I got this shot from the dock below the boat shed that I captured with star trails of the week before.  I made it with three brackets processed with HDR software to get the most out of the fog, sun and water. I could probably have got a similar result with a lot of fiddling around with just a single image, but this was easier, and also more certain as getting just the right exposure to work from can be tricky in this kind of situation.
