Staying on the quiet side of Mount Desert Island last summer, I anxiously awaited fog to set in. Days went by with fair and beautiful weather while dreams of fog in Bass Harbor danced through my head at night.
Finally one lazy afternoon the weather quickly changed and the fog rolled in from the ocean. Not realizing that I had left the white balance on my Canon 60D on “Florescent” I rushed down to Bass Harbor with tripod in hand to capture the dreamy fog.
With the settings of ISO 200, f/22 and shutter speed of .3 seconds, this captured the surreal feel of the moment.
When bringing these photos into Lightroom 3.5, I realized the white balance mistake. As these had been shot in jpeg, my only option was to try Lightroom’s autobalance. After experimentation, I actually went back to the original white balance as the feel and mood of the photos were more evident.
I dream of another foggy afternoon at Bass Harbor so that I may watch the boats float in silky water.

Loving your photos – Happy Saturday:)
Thank you SO Much ! Back at you sweetie!
Dreamy and ghostly…..
Thanks ! I also think these photos have some type of mysterious feel to them.
The last shot reminds me of the tiny island where I was born – when visiting the island at summers often raise early early early in the morning went out on the water to enjoy a beautiful sun raise – before dawn it looks like something like this… ‘big smile’
It must have been an incredibly beautiful and enchanting place to grow up. Do you ever miss the island life?
Yes and no… 😉
It’s so great calm down some days for a while – but then I miss the city life – but it’s wonderful “crazy” people who lives both places – so the great clou is when one can, as I, mix them as I wish… 😉
LOL! Somehow we just can’t get away from the ‘crazies’ right? They make life interesting though.
Eerily beautiful! 🙂
I agree! Have a fun day playing Maggie.

Yeah – Instead of being frightened of meeting “fools” or originals – so you would maybe use it constructively (and somewhat cynical) to make themselves better – I think I learn most of headwind – and we are probably all originals when comes down to it – hopefully … 😉
I refer, of course, not criminals here… 🙂
But of course ! Drake, you are such a wise man…
Very beautiful photos. I like these ones very much, the blue, the fog, the water and boats.
Thank you Bente! Perhaps it will remind you of the ocean near you.
