Trees in the mist ... [images added]

[HCS]

... or fog, as it can also be called. Shot a week ago when there was a (thin) cover of snow over our part of the NL. While out on a walk, mist rolled in.

Hans, you nailed the first one!

[HCS]

Thank you Jakov, that's a huge compliment!

It's actually a "pano" of 2 images. I was too close with the 135 and decided to shoot 2, instead of crawling through another 10 meters of very wet field (snow was melting).

Also, for both, worked a bit on the contrast, as there was quite a bit of mist between me and trees and also it seems the 135 ais isn't particularly contrasty.

I also like #1.

The pano stitching of the images taken from a closer place might have helped the resolving of fine twigs.

[John Geerts]

Great details on #1, that really foggy atmosphere.

[smusesuse]

Hans, I like them both! But I agree with the others, no. 1 is special.

[HCS]

Thank you very much all of you!

I kinda agree, i also like #1 very much.

Still i tried some others, maybe you like these too (or not, interested to know about it).

[elsa hoffmann]

You did well. Mist is not always great to shoot as it turns into a white blob at times. Your choice of subject is good.

[HCS]

Thanks Elsa, i appreciate that.

I've shot these trees many a time already. The background is a bit cluttered, so mist/fog offers opportunities. I agree with you that it also presents some challenges

Great images

it would be nice if you had a person in the distance ...

[smusesuse]

I like the b/w tree a lot! For me, it the treatment adds to the atmosphere. Very nice capture.

[HCS]

Thanks Armando. I do have some with people, but the people are my kids and i'm not putting them on the internet 

Thanks Suse, i appreciate that. I didn't do a whole lot to the image. Did emphasize the contrast of the closest tree though.

[Frank Fremerey]

Trees in the mist is an epic topic, esp in Winter. I love the first one, the tree is majestic!

[Akira]

Love the atmospheric rendition of the B&W version!

[HCS]

Thanks Frank, glad you like it. Trees in the mist: epic yes, but also quite difficult, as already pointed out by Elsa.

Thank you Akira, it is a great compliment for me that you like one of my images, especially a B&W one. I don't have so much experience with B&W conversions. This image seemed to be perfect for B&W though and i'm glad i took a shot and tried the conversion.
