Foggy Winter Morning (Montreal) • PhotoTraces


I’ve a brand new routine this winter (due to lockdowns). Every morning, I get up simply earlier than the dawn and attempt to guestimate if the golden hour can be value placing on winter garments and go outdoors the place it’s -20C.

The morning I took the featured picture, I knew instantly that dawn can be superb. The cause for that was thick fog with completely no wind.

Here, we hardly ever get fog as a result of fixed robust winds coming from the Saint Lawrence river surrounding the Island of Montreal.

I received to understand and by no means miss foggy climate, which all the time presents distinctive images alternatives.

This time, the fog lasted a minimum of an hour after the solar appeared over the horizon. I had sufficient time to cowl the massive space and to take loads of fascinating images.

Shooting

First, I needed to handle publicity. I knew upfront that shiny snow and fog would idiot the digicam’s metering system, and I couldn’t depend on it. Instead, I used the histogram to reveal the scene correctly.

I pointed the digicam towards the scene and locked the publicity. Next, I activated the histogram and used the publicity compensation to boos the publicity by 1 1/3 stops. The histogram helped me to not overexpose the shot.

Here is the histogram of the ultimate shot. It is uncovered closely to the precise.

Second, I needed to keep away from the attitude distortion produced by extremely broad angle lenses.

I used the Fujinon 10-24mm f/4 lens. Instead of taking pictures on the broad finish (10mm), I made a decision to make use of the lengthy finish of 24mm and create a wide-angle panorama.

I took 6 photographs in complete making an attempt to map a whole scene. Because of advances in Lightroom panorama stitching capabilities, I knew I may do it handheld and not using a tripod.

Below are 6 photographs I took with the objective to sew them right into a panorama in Lightroom:
