A foggy snow

Fruit Road near Highway 157

I'm always tempted by fog. Tempted to go out and shoot an incredibly mysterious and otherworldy kind of photograph. However, it usually doesn't turn out that way. Fog can be defiant, refusing to resemble on film what it looks like in reality. It's misty like that. Shooting fog in snow can be even more challenging. Everything turns out white and gray. Kind of foggy. I have found it's helpful to get close to something. In this case, a blacktop road and a car passing by, with a driver no doubt wondering what he sees through the fog standing by the road. Shutter: 1/13; Aperture: f/14; ISO: 100; Focal length: 18 mm
