These photos just goes to show how foggy it was at Aqualete Mere this morning. The issue with fog is that it’s not actually dark but a very diffused light (which is why your automatic headlights don’t turn when driving in fog), but the light is just so desaturated that it takes away all the colour (which is why I’ve processed them as Black and White). Also the tiny droplets of moisture suspended in the air between the lens and the subject takes any usable detail away.
I used to get really frustrated and annoyed, but unfortunately that’s the one thing about nature photography, you can’t control the environment. It’s what also makes it more challenging, so you just have to take it on the chin and move on.
