That's great. I really do like the eerie feeling it has. And knowing how you did it adds to that, actually. Fog is strange and is unusual here too. So when we get some, it's always interesting. Excellent! Jim H.

Very creative Idea! I admire your initiative to brave the elements to turn your idea into a spectacular image. The incredibly moody tones really grab me. Such a simple image evokes such mystery. This is ART!

Sure, Kelly, thanks for asking. We seldom have fog in our area, so when we got this winter weather with heavy fog and sleet, I thought of this old burned log cabin/house with no roof on a large being-developed lot; trees cut, roads being built but not quite totally demolished, as yet. I put a Coleman Powermate cordless spotlight (4" lens) in the middle of the floor and shot it at various shutter speeds. There was a slight breeze blowing with large amounts of moisture in the air, so all the detail is pretty much "washed" out. I was surprised how much color came out in this pic. Before processing, I fully anticipated that it would be best in B&W, but when I saw this I left it in color. Thanks again, -mikey
