Moonlit Fog

Moonlit Fog

Last night, around 2 am, I went outside to let the dogs relieve themselves.  There was a full moon (or close to it) out, and fog had rolled in.  The lighting and shadows were amazing.  I ran inside to get my camera so I could take some pictures.

Some of them didn’t turn out so good, but there were a few that looked great.  None of them really captured the scene though.  I only have a digital point-and-shoot, so I guess they turned out as good as possible.  I’d love to get a digital SLR, but they cost an arm and a leg.

I think the picture is great. An opportunity to shoot a scene like that does not come around very often. I’m jealeous.

I just bought a digital SLR a month or so ago. It did cost an arm and a leg, but it was worth it.

Thanks for the compliment. It really did have a surreal look, like something out of a dream. I couldn’t resist taking pictures.

What camera did you buy?

It seems that alot of the pictures I see like that these days, are created to some degree in Photoshop. It’s a great feeling of satisfaction when a person is able to find the moment, and capture it just as it is.

The camera I bought is the Fuji FinePix S2 Pro. The great thing about it is, it is built around the Nikon N80 body, so I can continue to use Nikon lenses.

I did use Photoshop to remove some bright pixels that my camera always puts on low-light pictures. It’s annoying. The coloring and contrast haven’t been messed with though. I didn’t even crop it.
