Out and About on a Foggy Day
Contrary to what you see on this blog, the weather in this part of Scotland is not always sunny, but Dunbar is statistically one of the sunniest places in the UK.
However we live near the sea and that means the occasional bout of sea fog. Now some people put down their cameras on days like this and I think they are missing out on the opportunity to capture something different.
Landscapes look so different when shrouded in fog or mist as these two shots taken on the Dunbar coastal path show. Taking them as dramatic mono images, adding a bit of grain to give that gritty edge to the images in post production, has given me a completely different view than when taking images from the same spots on a sunny day.
Cloudy or foggy days are also great for macro and close up images because of the diffused light. Also on a misty or foggy day the plants are usually covered in water drops, such as this ivy growing on the wall on the coastal path.
So next time the weather isn't perfect, grab your camera and get out there. There are some great opportunities for images with a different point of view because in Britain the weather isn't always sunny.
