Show/HidePhoto Information
The Headlands by PatrickSmith
The marine layer was thin, so the fog was low and patchy on this day. I decided to create a landscape image where the bridge was just part of the scenery. There is so much more to the beauty of this place than just this bridge. However, people often just point the camera at the bridge and snap away. While at least 15 other photographers with tripods (many with large view cameras) were down in the fog on the road below where the path drops out of sight, I hiked up the crumbly and unstable path to this point. The air was warm on this spot, while everybody was shivering in the fog just a few hundred feet away.
I took my shots and headed down the hill to find the other photographers milling about in the fog. I don't think that had any clear shots despite how it looks from this vantage point!
The only thing I had to 'time' was the flow of the fog across the hilltop. I wanted the 50 foot Eucalyptus tree near the bridge to stand out, as though standing up to the fog. It takes quite a beating at times! And this is not just mist, it is moving at about 30 miles per hour from right to left. It can blow you off your feet! But it was nearly calm at this spot while the fog whipped by just a short distance away.
I've updated my website (www.patricksmithphotography.com), so feel free to have a look. And I have a new page (called 'Methods') with some thoughts on making landscapes. If you have any trouble with the links, or any suggestions, let me know.

Certainly worth the hike, I have to say I was one of those you refer to in your description, (sorry) Your shot is by far better than any I've seen. I agree It is nice to see more of the view than just the bridge.

LOL - Megan, but there is nothing like the real thing!
That's okay Ruth, timing is everything and you can still get decent shots from the roadside pullouts. But the view is better up here. And I would not suggest people climb the rather unstable cliffside above the road to get up here, unless they had good hiking boots on.
That is not mist Tracy and Jouko, that is a small tornado of fog down there. You would have to be here to understand!
Thanks Ange. I wonder why? The main menu is just straight HTML until you get to the gallery page. And I see it fine at work. What browser are you using.

Ok,Patrick...realism?
It's OK...the FG is scrappy although the path is nice, the image actually works better cropped clean across the centre in a mock panoramic fashion. Having a FG is good, as you yourself have pointed out, but when it takes up two thirds of the shot, it needs to be a good FG with some visual value.
You know me....when it's really good, I'll say so.

LOL Julia (preciousload) I'll have to check out that ride.
I know you will Keith! Funny you should mention about the pano crop. I do have it cropped for a 2x5 panorama and it does look better. For the first time, I took this one with a pano in mind. The good stuff is in the middle so I didn't have as much barrel distortion to worry about. Not that it is such a big deal. But for EPZ, I just left it alone and uploaded it. From now on, if I have a pano, I'll upload it that way I think. I also have a version where the flowering low bush is in front. Maybe I'll upload that one next. I did several different versions. This will be my shot to compare with the other versions.
This is encouraging me to do some real panoramas!
Thanks Peter. It is true that if I crop off the top and bottom, I don't lose much. And you can still see the path.

Excellent shot - I agree that the path is a little distracting but I like the compositional balance given by the amount of foreground - it puts the bridge and distant city in context. How about cloning out the path rather than cropping (which I feel would spoil the composition)? Just a thought All the best. Bruce

Bruce (dodo_returns), I rarely clone anything out. It is probably better to have a different composition than clone, and it will look more natural. I'll be uploading at least one other version of this, so we will see what happens.

Hope you are well across the water.

Thanks for looking!
Glad you liked it Pete (pegon)
May have Suzie?? LOL...
Yes Mark, the Panoramic crop across the middle looks good.
LOL Julie!

Brian, the 50ft. Eucalyptus is sticking out of the fog just to the left of the left tower. Thanks for checking out the website!
