Morning Fog

Re-shoot of a Canon AE-1 photo taken in Deauville, France 1986. Thanks for looking.

Deauville. This is a place very close to where I grew up. You have a great picture here but it has a couple technical flaws, most notably sharpness. I don't care that the horizon is tilted, actually, I think it brings interest sometimes, an action feel. I think you can punch the colors a bit. I attached a version I would have made out of the original.

What a lucky man to have grown up in this gorgeous part of the world. And thank you for taking the time to do this variation. I feel honored that someone with your skills would do this. Normally, I would sharpen the focus (PS) but I really liked the dream-like quality that the dense fog provided. The fog was so thick that day we drove with the car door open to be able to see the roadside. So I left the image as shot - blur and soft blue tones - because that's the way it looked that day and the way I chose to remember it. Cheers -

Amazing image , I love your weather photgraphs, youre great at it ! Bring us some more. This image is lovely , you definitely captured it !!!

Thank you for your lovely comment. The "eye" is there - it's the rest that needs development. I'll be checking your portfolio, too. You have some amazing images and from places I would love to visit. Cheers -

Hi once again!

I love shipyards and specialy such developed sea-shores like that here catched on your picture. Imho first one is more natural, it's just much better that the second one. But in the other hand I agree with Pascal Agneray that a little hue punchin' would be interesting.

All in all great place...I wish I could grew up in such place, really!

 

Catch ya later 8-)

...and foggy atmosphere...

Thank you for your comments and rating. A favor - change your bio. You ARE a really good photographer. Cheers from Florida -

What a beautiful scene. The morning mist gives always very nice photos when they are taken in the right place, well this certainly is. IMO the mood of the photo is kind of sad but that is also the main thing why i like it so much. It is a little crooked but i think it works better this way. Very good capture. rgs Tero.

Thanks for your kind words. I can remember this day as though it were yesterday. We had driven from Paris to the Normandy coast in dense fog almost the whole way. We had to keep the rental car door open to see where the road ended! And then, when we arrived at Deauville, we saw this. It was breathtakingly beautiful. Shame I didn't take more photographs. I did learn, and haven't forgotten, the French word for fog: brouillard. Cheers -

I found someone who took pictures of another harbor close to Deauville. Here is the thread if you are interested.

Thanks. Pierre's photos are wonderful and the port is just lovely. My next trip is probably going to be to Alaska. Maybe France after that - you never know. Cheers -

I was browsing and came across this wonderful shot. I can't believe I missed it earlier. It's quite special. Regards, Joe

Thank you for finding this one and for your kind words. It's a favorite of mine - the photo and the memories :) Cheers -

I think it's the exceptionally strong composition that makes this photo so irresistible! Then the boats, birds, and fog. I'd sharpen the boats a little (not necessarily all the way) but I like your original colors much better than the alteration above. Good find, good capture, great mood.

Thanks for your comments. I've tried sharpening and just don't like the results. This is a scan of a film print. What I really need to do is get a decent scan. Next year. It's on my "To Do" list. Cheers -
