Louse Point Boat – Foggy Silhouettes

This photograph is of the same boat in my earlier post and was shot on the same morning in a dense fog which the sun was burning off. The slightly warm look of these photographs is entirely natural. Basically, I photographed into the sun’s watery reflection creating foggy silhouettes.

What’s interesting about these photos is the difference a lens can make in the interpretation of a scene. The earlier photograph was taken with a telephoto lens (135mm equivalent on a 35mm camera) and this one was taken with a “normal” lens (40mm equivalent on a 35mm camera).

An  analogy is to think of the actual scene as the musical score. One’s selection of a lens can change the “feel” of the scene much in the same way that various instruments will change the feel of a score.
