Lake Henshaw in the Fog

~ lawrencepallant

In early December I saw a forecast for a foggy morning at Lake Henshaw.ā€‚I have captured some of my favorite shots at this lake, so I hoped I could capture something different. I was thrilled when I was able to find scenes that I had not imagined before. At this time of year, some of the willows are barren of leaves, but others still have fall color. Very beautiful.

Ghosts – I started my morning waiting for the fog to thin to allow a clearer view of these three willows. While I waited, I took several shots of these trees with a long exposure to smooth out the water, but I liked this one best with the water ripples, 1/3 second exposure.

After waiting more than an hour I decided to explore for more compositions and found the scene below,

Willow & Reeds – As I worked my way along the shore of the lake I found this cluster of willows.
Broken – A raft of coots swim by a willow with a bent limb. When I saw them swimming in the direction of this tree, I set up to photograph them as they swam by.
Titans – I imagine these trees are having some sort of dialogue or relationship between them.

After photographing for a few hours, the fog began to thin. I quickly tried to get back to the first scene with the three willows. But I didn’t make it. By the time I got there the fog had completely dissipated. It changes fast.
