Foggy Sunday Morning in Ohio

You just never know when you wake up in the morning, what the day will bring. I set the clock for 6am Sunday morning to see the hot air balloons lift off, since they had been so beautiful the day before. (Our little town of Wadsworth, Ohio, was having its Great Balloon Race Days.) But it was too foggy for them to go up. No sense wasting getting up early, though, so I got in the car and drove around to see what I could see. . . Nothing far-away or exotic, but it was a beautiful morning just the same.

Smoke on the water
Stephanie - Great foggy photos! I especially enjoy the fog on water scenes...if a photo of 'silence' can be taken, then that's what you have done! Great work!

"ditto"
Steve is right, the 4th photo blew me away! The rest were also very well composed, and quite appealing to the eye. You should be very proud.

Wow
Your photos are really nice.

Great photos
I'll still go to the ends of the earth to get mine - maybe because I need the assistance of having unusual subjects to counteract my lack of skill. You obviously don't need that to get good phots. I like #4 best.

Beauty in the fog and mist of Ohio
Stephanie:

Thanks so much for sharing these images with us. Good pictures can be found anywhere -- you don't have to go the ends of the earth to make images that linger in the imagination. You prove a point that I've been pleading for the last 30 years in my photo workshops -- it's not what you shoot that's important, it's when, how, and why you shoot it that makes the difference between images that just describe the subject, and images that energize the imagination. Just as I was able to take advantage of fog and mist during my my recent shoot in Kamchatka, your own foggy Ohio dawn helps you abstract your subject and bring it to life with beautifully diffused light.

How creative and beautiful, Stephanie! When I zoom in on the pictures, I almost feel as though I am there!

Nice job capturing the misty quality of the light.

Lucky for all of us, you didn't turn around and go back to bed when you learned the balloons were grounded! The "Morning Mist" shot is exceptional.
