Fog Lights

This is one of those images that attempt to capture an illusive and subtle effect of light…with more or less success. Fog over the beach with the sun playing in and out.

A fairly straightforward Programed Auto exposure, but with more than usual post processing.

Sony DCS H50 at full wide (31mm equiv.). F5.6 @ 1/1000 @ ISO 100. Programed Auto.

In Lightroom I used full Recovery to pull back all but the highest highlights in the fog, and then Clarity to reinforce the transparency of the fog. Between them, they got me back very close to the naked eye visual effect. Moderate Vibrance brought out the blue behind the fog, and I used the Sharpen landscapes preset.
