Fife Piers in the Haar

[wookie6262]

Not working a Monday gives an opportunity to pop out for a few shots and not worry too much about traffic and other people. A lie in was needed so headed out when Landscapers fear to dread at midday. The lowish sun and haar created fairly diffused lighting conditions and I went for exposures of a minute to further soften the images. I liked the contrast of the soft light, flat seas and low contrast backgrounds against the rugged piers. Seems ages since I took a landscape photo but was forced out as I never had a Triptych for a forthcoming camera club comp. I think I scrape one out of these.

Do like the first with the iconic rail bridge looming in the background.

They are nice Simon lovely subtle processing I like the rail bridge in the first shot the way it is almost dissapearing
I would have made the piers darker but the more I look the more I like what you have done.

Darker was the way I went initially but the haar gave the scene a nice soft feel so I went low contrast and light. The piers were all lit by the sun so they were quite light to the eye. Thanks

None of them are bad shots but the first as Scott says with the iconic bridge showing through the mist is a bellter.

I too prefer the 1st image- the bridge really makes it for me
