From the Vault: Foggy Harbor

Today is the first rainy day in what seems forever here in Boston, I even had a smile on my face as I put on my rain gear and splashed through the puddles on my way to work.  While not a rainy photo, but a foggy one this is what the harbor feels like today, cold, dark, windy and dismal.  Getting a good photo of a foggy scene is sort of an art form in and of itself.  Getting that exposure just right to showcase the fog without blowing it out, giving it some texture while making it still look natural.  Don’t forget to change it to black and white, because fog photos look a lot better in B&W then they do in color.  Changing it to B&W gives it that old movie look, you expect to see the werewolf or Frankenstein.
