Foggy Nights | Friday Jan 09, 2009

This Week: Bayou Nights

This is a bonus photo from a different night. Two nights later I was back out taking night photos and the fog rolled in. This is from a different position, but I am still near Buffalo Bayou.

This photo has been an interesting revelation for me. I really like it and I want to do more night photography with the specific focus of black and white. I'm excited about the possibilities!

Comments:

Lauire, the fog creates a lovely diffused effect in your shot.

I think your right about being excited by B/W at night. An American photographer, Zack Arias, said one advantage of post processing night shots to B/W is you lose that orange/yellow colour cast caused by street and building lights etc.

That is for sure. In a large city like Houston, fourth largest in the US, there are lights everywhere and they are all different colors. It makes some areas a real challenge. This will eliminate that problem.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll go look up what he said and see if I can glean any additional words of wisdom.

What a wonderful image - the light and fog works brilliantly in black and white.

I like the diffused effect of the fog in this picture. The B& W choice is really a good one !
