I can see how following that center line will keep you on the road
but I don't see any way that it can keep you going straight! ;-)
I absolutely love looking at pictures taken in the fog - mountain
streams shrouded in mist, fall scenes with fog that make the colors
pop, light houses with fog rolling in around them - I'm a sucker for
all of them. But, I had never taken a fog picture myself until a
couple of weeks ago. Mitchelle and I were up at Roan Mountain on the
North Carolina/Tennessee border. The catawba rhododendrons were at
peak bloom at around 5,000-6,000 feet and there was some low lying
cloud cover. It seemed like an excellent opportunity to get some
"mist" pictures but I found it to be harder than it looked to get a
good shot. It seemed like, at least in a lot of my shots, that the
mist was more of a hindrance than enhancement to my compositions. I
guess I need to study this type of picture more and try to determine
what makes them work in my eye and then apply that to my next attempt.
Anyway, here's a link to one of my better shots that day:

(And I still don't know if the mist added anything.)
Later,
