I trudged across the fields of Berkswell today in an effort to get some foggy, autumn pictures.
The fog was quite dense and the only noises piercing its sound dampening properties were the cries of the crows in the trees, the seagulls on the lake and the drip, drip of the water on the leaves of the trees as I waked under them. The air was cold and damp and the footpaths muddy, slippy and well-trodden.
Out of the gloom of the fog the trees continually emerged as I walked on. In the distance the trees faded into an indistinct line on the horizon, all detail and contrast flattened by the fog.
The particular oak tree in the image below stood on the top of a rise in the field. The orange and yellow leaves barely hanging on to the branches. I was captivated by the flatness and quietness of the scene, all tones muted to browns and golds.
I took the photograph with my D800 and a 50mm f/1.8 standard lens. I used the dehaze tool in Photoshop to increase the contrast in the tree and to make it more prominent.
