Last upload for a couple of weeks. I'm visiting relatives in Los Angeles.
Another one with a cool feel to try and beat the heat. The wind bent the trees and grasses as the fog rolled quickly over the lower hills at Mt Tamalpais, 10 miles north of San Francisco on a late May evening.
So I chose a 1 second exposure to show some movement in the branches and grasses, but not too much. (Is this movement distracting?) Shorter exposures just looked a little blurred and a longer ones just looked mushy. Anywhere from 3/4-1.2 seconds seems right for a windy day up there.
Then it was a matter of timing one full sweep of the branches as a gust of wind hit them, to get a swirling effect.
Standing upwind from the camera blocked the wind and stopped the camera shake.

Yes Nik, the fog is moving rapidly from right to left and over a submerged mountian ridge and into a valley, creating that roller coaster effect. You should see it in person. It is like watching a river flow over rock!

Yes Mari, the days of 46 degree temperatures in the shade are over for now! But it rarely gets above 30c at the beach, since the ocean temperature is about 13-18 year round! The fog is from hot air flowing over the cold ocean.

Janet, it's good to know that the movement creates an impression of wind.

Great shot Patrick. You have clouds there! I like the dappled light on the conifers, and the undulating mist in the background. The movement in the grass and branches is not distracting to me. How high are you here?

Beautiful, the fog/mist in the trees makes it stand out and for some reason (personal preference probably), offsets the intentioned movement and makes it all work.

Very good light Patrick and I like the fog swirling around the trees.
However I feel you have tried to create a FG when there really isn't one there. I am sorry but I find the ' blur' a real distraction. You ask the question yourself in the description, and I think you probably have your own reservations on the movement in the FG.
I seem to be on my alone with this view but I say what I see.

Yes never know Brian, there may be others that don't like the movement that just don't say anything. This one is not for everybody (I guess no photo really is!)

I'd say you have the shutter speed about right here Pat, too much and i would think the grass would disappear altogether, nice colours here too and nice to have some interest in the sky, going to get up there myself sometime but am waiting for the clouds to come back.
Hi everyone, i really got into photography when i bought a digital camera last year. I found this site through a magazine, i think it is a great site! I'm still learning and hope this site will help me. My passion is wildlife and the countryside, i am always in the lo...
Excellent work again, Patrick. Lots of interest throughout the frame, and I like the combination of soft light on the foreground and the touches of sunlight on the trees. The movement of the grasses is a nice touch too.
Ok, this is another one of those shots that is so good it's mind blowing. I don't think the momvement is distracting at all. On the contrary it definetly adds to the photo.
My introduction to photography began at an early age with a Kodak Instamatic. A Minolta SLR followed and more recently a Canon EOS 500N. This year I embraced the digital age with a Canon EOS 20D (or mid-life crisis as it has become known) and joined the Wakefield Camera...
