...in the afternoon there will be some hazy sunshine...

I remember the weather forecast on the car radio when I stopped for a

quick shot of this field. All comments welcome!

7/6 Very nice image!

Sometimes a grab shot really turns out well. I like this one. Looks like a typical English afternoon. The tree stands out well from the background and fits the rule of thirds. Good work.

Thanks gentlemen!

At first I thought it looked tilted, but after examining the trees I do not think so anymore, nice shot. Enjoyed your afternoon I see:-)

Hans, yes, the ground slopes down to a river on the left so the mist is also thicker in that direction. You can also just see a hint of a horizon, showing that we are looking down hill a bit. Thanks, it was a nice afternoon!

I love that hazy peaceful Country mood until the Sun comes,nice capture.

This mist makes this one. Provides a very nice twist on the lighting.

Beautiful scene - meanwhile I have snow outside my window. :-) Cheers Colin

Colin nice peacefull composition. I like the difference in the the accentuated forground and the foggy background.Very English... Pnina

Thanks Alix, Ken, Amar, Pnina. It was a peaceful scene and that was the feeling I was trying to capture. Amar, my youngest would really like to have some of your snow but I think it will be a case of 'dreaming of a white christmas' where we are. regards - Colin

Thanks Ahmet!

I love misty shots. The success of this is in large part to the strong dark tree. It anchors the whole image. Really good work!

Hi Linda. Thanks!

Colin this is a very nice shot and the exposure you have choosen give beautiful light. The tree for me give a lot to the beauty of this photo and offer a nice contrast. Bravo.

Very tranquil scene, Colin.

What a great atmosphere. Looks so relaxing. Nicely composed. Perfect exposure resulting in detailed and well saturated image.

 

Nice work. Best regards.

Very real and very, very familiar image (London-Southampton every morning). Beautiful tree silhouettes in the background. There are some obvious signs of high presure in the atmosphere, but, in England, can you really tell what the weather be like in the afternoon? (I guess it was morning when you took this picture)

Wonderfull as always! Love everything about this composition.

Thanks Gaetan. I like the tree too!

 

Thanks Steve, Zafar, Manolis and Alon.

 

Manolis, I agree with you that this is a very typical English scene.

Very pretty! Can't beleive you get shots like this in December!

And the theme from Black Beauty skips over the mists of an English country morning... but its far to early to be running, so they just graze instead. But that's o.k., cause lazy rhymes with hazy. There'll be lots o' galloping later... nice atmosphere.

Camilla this was a rare day when the sun appeared. As I did not expect to see it again for some time I went out with the camera. It is not the best weather though at the moment and most shots come out looking very dull.

 

Stephen, thanks. I had to take this before the horses noticed me and all came over looking for a treat. And all they got was their photos taken.

Hi Colin, I was thinking about shooting (er photographing) some horses today but didn't have a nice mist like this... i was thinking they might like a few carrots... anyway, I digress... This is a very nice scene and photograph, I am impressed by how BIG the tree is, and you have a really nice mood here of relaxing in the afternoon...

Thanks Becky. I'm glad you mean to photograph the horses rather than anything else! Good luck with the carrots.
