Indeed! Was just admiring them. Unfortunately for me after perusing my archives it appears I have never taken a photo of fog or mist! Not with a Pentax anyway

Here's hoping for some fog around North West Essex before Sunday!

Well my only fog / mist photograph was taken on a XXXXX p&s camera so I had better not submit it

I think Ralf will have his work cut out judging this one there are a lot of decent images there and it's very hard to assess them IMO.

A very nice shot indeed, but this particular competition has finished and this was the discussion thread for the competition, rather than the area for submitting entries.

The current Fortnightly Competition is "Your Weather" so you could enter this shot in that competition, provided it complies with the time restraints stated by the judge.

Hi Hyram, thanks for advice... I had just taken this shot and then saw the competition title and couldn't resist ... I am only a beginner so I don't think I am quite ready for entering competitions for real.

Cheers

I really think that you should enter this shot in the current Fortnightly Competition.

Everyone is very friendly and it is a brilliant way to improve skills

Do I just add it to the topic titled 'Fortnightly competition No. 32 Your Weather'?

Unfortunately I can't remember all the settings for the shot... will this be a problem?

Yes - just post it basically as you have here, but make sure it is the 'photo entry one' and not the 'discussion one'.

The main info' needed is :-

Camera type
Lens
Shutter speed
ISO
Aperture

You should be able to find this in the software programme you used for the photograph on your PC.
