Day 021 - Winter Mist

South Berwick, ME view map

This morning I wasn't sure where I was headed for a shot, that was until I passed through town and saw a huge plume of fog from the falls. I took a back road to the falls. There is a park beside the falls that has the best vantage point (well, the best accessible vantage point). Unfortunately the park is NOT plowed in the winter. I parked in the local museum parking lot (err, space) and walked through a ton of snow to get to a wall off the river. I cleared a section of snow (with my boots) for the tripod and myself.

The sun was to my back, making it very hard to focus via live view (probably should have just left AF on). I used my ND 1.8 filter and forgot to shoot the whibal card so all my shots picked up this ugly reddish cast that I had to try to get out.

My goal was to shoot the falls, but there was so much fog coming off the falls that it was seriously affecting the clarity of the ice beneath the falls and the water itself. I basically nixed all the falls shots. . .
