Foggy daybreak with pelicans - 10/09/05 01:15 AM
I witnessed a beautiful foggy and colorful morning at Clinton Lake (near Lawrence, KS). Didn't realize these were pelicans until I got home and dumped the pics.
Keep in the sunlight,
Christie

Gorgeous shot! Great colors, and I really love the "balance" that the trees below bring to the composition. AWESOME!

Very nice capture. The pelicans line make a mirror image of the fog below...when they dip...the fog rises...don't know if you planned it that way, but very cool effect. The dreamy feel and the sharpness of the subject, complamentary lines....all come together to make this a top notch shot.
Really nice work.

Thanks all for the comments. My apologies for not checking back here sooner. This photo was a case of "being at the right place at the right time." It was truly a magical morning with the swirling purplish fog as the sun was breaking through the horizon.
Technical: Olympus E1 with 50-200mm, 1/400s f/3.5 at 200.0mm iso100, raw.

Hey Christie,
Being in the right place at the right time with a camera is always important, LOL. Again, nicely done. If it has not been for the pet photography, I have really taken no decent nature/wildlife photographs in months. It is a bit disappointing. I need to get out a bit more.
