An early morning hike to the North Quabbin shoreline offered this view of drifting fog lit by the rising sun.

At first the leaning trees made me feel that the picture is tilted, even though it’s not.

Hard to say whether the trees are leaning naturally or maybe I should have corrected for the wide angle effect.

There might be a bit of barrel distortion, but I think it’s likely that the trees on the edge have leaned out toward the open space over the water to get as much sunlight as they can. This one gets an “Aaaahhh.”

That’s pretty much my feeling about the trees, but I was obviously using my 16-35 so a little distortion is certainly a possibility. Thanks, Gary!

I especially enjoy the way the two V-shaped forms (fog and land) meet at that somewhat amorphous point. It’s interesting that I didn’t see the any tilting in the image. In fact, the trees seem amost incidental.

Thanks for noticing that. It was a big reason, along with the illumination, why I made this image. WHen I processed this I thought of the trees as naturally tilting but can see where that might look distorted to another viewer.

You really create some beautiful moods with your framing and how you catch cloud and mist, along with the magical lighting. Pure beauty, Steve!

Yes, definitely, Ann. Unfortunately this sort of calmness is still needed as the drama continues.
