I’ve had many dreams about fog. More specifically, about taking pictures in fog.
Fog introduces a whole new compositional element to pictures. Not to get too technical, but the use of empty space within a frame becomes the most important part of the photograph.
Anyways, I got to shoot in the fog yesterday.
After driving to school yesterday morning and seeing the driving fog crossing the roads and fields, I hoped it would stay like that all day. When I got out of school, the fog had actually become worse…or better, depending on how I look at it.
I took around 100 pictures on the back-roads between Burke and Sun Prairie.
I thought this picture would be appropriate because the New Year is approaching quickly. (Yes, I’ve started looking at a calendar — but only because Christmas is coming, and I kind of have to know when Christmas is.)
It’s going to be nice starting a new year. Even though there is still a whole lot more left of school. I must say that I have probably learned the most in 2007 than I have in any other time in my life. It’s not necessarily something specific I’ve learned as much as it is just about life.
hey you,
i’ve been enjoying the fog as well.. although it’s been gone for the past few days..
i was thinking about the thing tomorrow and was curious to know if you were coming.
anyway, that was all. hope all is well
