Ham Pond and Gordon House in fog - # 210

This view of the mid 18th Century "Gordon House" across Ham Pond is wonderful in any light.

To capture the colours of the water plants in the foreground I used a small amount of reduced power flash. The film sensitivity was set at 400 ISO, and the camera (on auto) fired at 125th/sec.

It's by no means a perfect shot, but I'm still pleased with the result of my efforts to make something of the scene.

...and there went up a great mist from the earth - # 210

Yesterday morning was surprising. After a cold, grey wet week Saturday dawned with a thick fog. This is NOT what you expect in August!

I rushed out at 06.00 to take pictures of the fog and rising dawn. I have never tried this type of photography before, so forgive the quality. I have chosen what I think are the best and will show them over the next 3 or 4 days.

Here is a view of the pond on Ham Common looking southeast.
