Fog

This weekend has been the rebirth of my photography hobby. From now on, I am a re-born photographer :-)


I could not have picked a better subject: Fog.Do you know how hard it is to take reasonably good photos of fog? Let me tell ya, it's hard! 


I have learned that I still need a lot of practice. I remember the days where I would be in the darkroom with my dad developing our black & white photos. Initially I viewed it as pure magic; later on he introduced me to the inside scoop. From that moment on, I have always been interested in photography and jealous of the people that have the time (or take the time) to take great photos. Google+ definitely has re-charged that interest. There are so many great and inspirational photographers that post their photos!


For now, I am just trying. I need to go back to the basics. I need to think aperture, shutter speed, ISO again. I am familiar with the terms and what they mean, but I can't trust my instinct anymore. I have to re-learn I guess.


Back to the drawing board so to speak. And go back to practice and practice and practice. I hope you will see lot's of photos taken by me. I invite everyone to comment on them and to not be kind or polite. Be critical. That's how one advances!


Here are my lessons learned from yesterday's foggy photo shoot:
