The first mist of the Autumn at Idless in Cornwall UK near Truro

The first mist has eventually arrived and I was luckily enough to capture it at Idless near Truro in early September. The separation caused by the mist gives the woodland another worldly look and inspires you to keep capturing image after image. This few hours inspired me to capture around seven images that were worthy of keeping in my portfolio. Great images are always about weather, light and processing, with two of these the processing element is quick and easy. Lets hope a new few days of mists arrives quickly so I will have the opportunity to explore another local woodland in this majestic atmosphere.

The mist at last

I have been waiting around 8 months for mist. Each morning I expectantly look out the window and nothing. I have mist apps and alerts programmed into the phone in case it happens but it has not. Then last week on the 12th August I peered out at 6.00 in the morning and there it was. All my equipment was ready and I raced to our local woodland Idless. I was in the carpark by 6.30 and had it all to myself before all the rowdy dog walkers arrived. The tranquility was bliss and images were jumping out at me from all directions. I managed to capture about 20 images over a 3 our period and woodland photography became much easier with just that separation between foreground and background. I am now waiting for the next appearance so I can experiment somewhere else (Ladock).
