The Fog
Cowes again, on the Isle of Wight. The fog lingered over the harbour. The sound of clinking from halyards but dead still otherwise.
This is one of those scenes. Yeah, boats on the sea, bit of fog and a headland.
Big deal.
The trouble was, I kept looking at it. I wasn't sure why. Something. The boats? Nah. The foggy sky? Could be.
In the end I took the photo.
You have to don't you? Standing there dithering is no good.
When I look at it now I know what it was.
Atmosphere. The scene had loads of it. And those boats. Their alignment. That's what caught my eye. Random, sure. But still, they added a balance I liked.
Anyway, yeah, foggy days don't hide the photos. If you keep your eyes open they can even make 'em.
