Hi folks,

I was walking the dogs the other morning with no expectations of a photographic opportunity so I had left the 5D2 behind. Luckily I had my PowerShot G10 with me, bought for exactly such eventualities.

Normally the clump of trees is swamped (sic) by background mountains but the autumn mist did a great job of isolating them. The shot was taken from the shoreline just in front of the Roman Galava Fort at the head of Lake Windermere.

Bob.

Splendid shot Bob!
I envy you for having such a scenery nearby.

Hi folks,

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Certainly not amazing but I was looking for a "calming" effect during PP so I'm pleased that mood was picked up on. The detail available from the G10 still surprises me and the post above doesn't do it justice. I prepared a 1920x1080 version (here) for use in a Windows Media Center screen saver: at that size the ripples in the lake start to show up and I think that the tighter vertical crop also draws the eye into the scene rather better. Still, as a "happy snapper" I'm happy enough and I did want to reinforce the point that having a good pocketable camera can be a great investment.

Bob.

Very nice photo Bob. Love the mist

Beautiful detail.. I never get really good picture in the mist, one day I arose early, went out to the backyard and the fog thru the trees was awesome..........
I tried my best to take pics and got nothing....low iso, long exposure, high iso, medium iso, exposure time all over the place, tripod used, etc....

I was shooting in RAW, went to full auto - flash off...camera wouldn't fire.
With flash on, I lost the effect...
