Capturing Foggy Countryside: We Stand Alone – Stowmarket, Suffolk


England, Stowmarket – Little Stonham – December 2024

Ending the year in the UK, a roadside view from the car over a foggy Suffolk countryside. Hence the sharpness is not optimal. This is another one I used GrainLab to put in an analogue grain feeling. It softened the darks and gave the photo a more balanced view in the highlights. Snapseed tends to distort big surfaces in the sky, and this is a nice retouch effect to repair that.

Surf’s Up

The Netherlands, Katwijk aan Zee – November 2024

The weekly LAPC #327 is ‘five elements’. Four of the Greek (fire, water, earth, sky) and metal from a Chinese philosophical edge. The only fire in this photo is invisible and contained in the wind sweeping the water onto the beach. And as far for metal, it keeps the wooden fence together. Water, sky and earth in abundance. Funny we do not look in ‘elements’ to a photo.
