The Photographers by PatrickSmith
I saw few high clouds drifting by in the weather satellite photo, the first in over a month. So I took the opportunity to go up to Mt. Tamalpais above the fog. So did a couple of other photographers on the hill to the right. They seemed so small compared to the grand scene before them, but they also became a perfect focal point for this scene. Especially in the 4,200 pixel version where even their shirts are easily seen.
They had long zoom lenses on their cameras. Maybe they were trying to focus on the fog flowing through the forest.
It was perfectly quiet, except for the sound of the waves crashing on the beach below the fog, and the sound of the photographers talking.
0.2 second exposure @F13 with ND grads 0.9 + 0.6

Beatiful shot Patrick. Lovely muted colours and a slightly surreal feel from the fog banks rolling in around the trees. Perhaps the sky could do with colour saturating a wee bit? but that's just my opinion.

Yes Jouko, I'm back at least for a short while. Still have lots of work to do on the house and these have been the only clouds in months. This was taken a week ago and no clouds since. The sunset on this day was awesome and I may show that later.
You might be right Dave. I left the saturation bar unchanged and right in the middle for this one.

nice one, its a shame there isn't a little more colour in the f/ground, but when you have no sky for months and no rain that grass is going to cook.
I trust you have had a good time on your holiday.

Yes Mike, I had a good holiday. Little time for EPZ or photography though, so I'll have to catch up. The grass is a golden brown, so maybe I'll bring that out a little more in my final version. I just don't want to do too much, as the colours here were very subtle.

When i was there last weekendi i was standing right where the photographers are and then i went down the other side, the hill is really steep and once i started running i very nearly couldn't stop and thought i was going head over heels, glad i didn't though as i had my camera attached to my tripod in my hand with my camera bag on my back, that might have been a really funny sight for anyone watching....lol judging by this shot i really need to get a couple of extra N.D Grads, not sure whether to get more cokin or change to LEE though, i don't know if i'd notice the difference, this shot is well lit and nice and sharp.
