A couple alerts this week saw Delta Lake empty for the sunrise. In addition to the air quality alerts from the Canadian wildfires there is an algae bloom on the lake. I had the beach area to myself for the sunset Thursday evening. The bloom might be on the downside as I didn’t see too much evidence of it but the haze in the sunset is definitely from the wildfires. The constant smell of a campfire is starting to wear thin as well…

The forecast was not looking good for the morning. A weather alert about low visibility due to fog had me thinking I would not get a sunrise image. As the time for the sun arrived I had a thought, why not images of the fog? I started thinking on ways to process the images, obviously they would be monochrome, and of course it had to be down at Bellamy Harbor Park.
Get dressed!
On it. Camera ready?
Yes! Silly question…
Off I went into the early morning to Bellamy Harbor for “sunrise” images. It was a good decision. There was no sun and I could see the fog coming up the canal. I looked for images with contrast that would process well as monochrome. You can see how the fog increased as the morning progressed. These are in chronological order…

I really got my steps in while I was on vacation. I haven’t been out for a walk since I returned. Luckily for me, I have some images still in my pocket from walks prior to vacation. Even a few daisies. I need to get out and find more…
