I PIRED BY FOG NS INSPIRATION : Photo PHOTOGRAPHY When you think of fog, you think film noir: mysterious streets made more eerie by fog’s effervescent glow near lamp posts, and a chill diffusing all around you. As fog is a quiet and versatile traveler, it might also arouse images of peaceful mornings near a secluded lakeside, or levitating boats at a harbor thanks to a condensation of coastal mist. Capturing foggy landscapes is sort of like packaging the experience of popping a strong mint in your mouth while standing atop a cliffside with cool wind brushing your cheeks. Whether set in the day or night, mountains or seaside, fog photography carries a rush that is calm yet thrilling in its mystery. Using fog in photography can work to the benefit of the photographer in more than one way. Fog can serve as the subject that sets the mood in a photograph, the subject itself, the prop, the technique, or the filter in a photo. It seems that fog is also the string that makes the transition between fall and winter quite seamless, seeping through and leaving the scene quietly. Peruse through the path that fog has taken through nature and through PicsArt with these breathtaking shots accumulated during the season. PicsArt Monthly |17
