Fall is a great time for taking morning pictures. The increasing hours of darkness allow the air to cool to it's dewpoint and creats some great morning fog. 145 mm, 200 ISO, F/13, 1/80 sec exposure.

Another view of the Golden Gate Bridge, shrouded in fog.

Another sunrise picture, this time with some morning fog. This time of the year is always good for sunrise pictures.

Lake Fog

This was an attempt to take a cool picture of something barely visible in the fog. Unfortunately it was much more impressive in my mind. I did want to post it to show how foggy it was the same day that I took my previous fall color pictures. In case you're wondering, it's a "Slow Wake" buoy near the boat ramp.

Bryce Canyon

Ok, things were hectic and I didn't get a chance to finish my St. Patrick's Day pictures, but it's over and I'm moving on. This is a picture of my favorite national park in Utah. I know Nativeminnow grew up near here and has told me he thinks it's just a touristy place, but I think it is absolutely amazing. In fact, this was the last place we visited before we moved from Utah because I told Yin I had to see it one more time. Of course, it was freezing cold, cloudy and rainy the whole time. However, when the clouds weren't obstructing our view, it gave me some incredible shots like this one where the low clouds were drifting into the valleys shown here.

Crisp Mornings

One of my favorite things about autumn is in the beginning when you first start to get the brisk mornings and the lakes and rivers are still relatively warm. I always enjoy watching the steam rising off of those warm waters. This was one of the first brisk mornings in North Carolina and I got up extra early before work (those of you who know me will know how incredible a feat this is) and went out to get photos at the reservoir close to our house. I ended up with a lot of cool photos. This is one of my favorites. There is just enough steam and the water is calm enough to produce reflections that make it difficult to tell where the water begins. It just seems so serine.
