Flying in the Fog
by GIULIO57
I took this image a few months ago. Date: Dec. 12 th, 2016. Morning with fog. PENTAX LX camera on monopod and PENTAX zoom 40-80 set at 60mm. F16. Shutter Speed: 1/500s. Manual exposure and focusing. KODAK BW Film T-MAX 400 processed using its own developer (T MAX standard protocol). I have printed photo on ILFORD Warm Tone paper (baryta). I have scanned original frame film (25A-26) using an EPSON Perfection 3200 scanner. Digital file so obtained has been processed in CS5 and then TOPAZ BW so to give same effect as original warm-tone paper. This is work flow: Open Topaz-Choose BW-Traditional Collection-Warm Tone III-at Color Sensitivity choose Blu Filter. So doing I have opened fog and middle tone (this has been the visual effect at monitor!).
Place is Castello Banfi close to Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy. This scenery is a must to take a pic of when embedded in the fog. This has been my first time I have seen such a scenery with the Castle “Flying in the Fog”.

Impressed with your processing as well as the shot. Ilford makes a nice FB warm-tone paper too.

A yummy photograph taken by a yummy LX. Perfect combo.

The early morning mists do have magical effects, which you have captured here.
I have seen similar effects in England when a valley has been hidden in the morning fog and the high ground on the far side is seen as if in the clouds.
