There were occasional breezes through the trees and I did not try to adjust my shutter speed to freeze the wind induced motion, so some of the images may show that motion, such as that in the image above.

Indiana Fall 2023, Part 23 – Early One Foggy Morning, Brown County State Park

I initially photographed along a roadway through Brown County State Park on a foggy morning, then took a long hike through the forest.  Photos in this post and  a number in the previous post (part 22) were taken along that forest hiking trail.

The fog was getting thinner now and it became more difficult to capture the fog in my images.  I elected to stop photographing as it was getting late in the morning and I was getting hungry for breakfast and caffeine.  I’m sure the hiking trail was not of great length, but it seemed like it took me a considerable time to get back to a a roadway.  Then I had to hike a considerable distance along a roadway to return to my vehicle.

Until next time,

Foggy Morning 1, Brown County State Park, Indiana, October 29, 2023

Another early morning photo shoot in Brown County State Park, Indiana.  I got lucky this morning.  It was a moderately foggy morning with heavy fog in some areas.  Foggy mornings here are not unusual and I had hoped to get at least one foggy morning.

The last two images here are essentially the same composition, but the last one obviously has a foggier look.  That is due to shooting it farther away from the tree line and having more fog between the camera and the trees.

One has to be careful when shooting in the fog and when editing the foggy images.  It is not always easy to get the exposure right and editing can take out the effect of the fog, if over done.  I can’t claim to be an expert at either of these skills, but fog surely can add magic to some scenes.

There is probably a story behind the distortion in that bent tree trunk.  Maybe a life’s event deformed it, in the same way that life’s choices, obstacles or stresses might change a person’s life path.

Early Morning Calm, Ogle Lake, Brown County State Park, Indiana, October 28, 2023

I went into Brown County State Park again early on the morning of October 28, 2023, first stopping at Ogle Lake.  It was a bland sky morning, heavily overcast and no sunrise sky color.  I made the image above, which is similar to ones made a couple of days earlier, except for the sky,  then the blandness of the sky prompted me to leave the lake and wander through the park looking for better fall images.

Indiana Fall 2023, Part 15 – Backroads and Forest

After my woodland hike, I drove to the old forest fire lookout tower on Tower Ridge Road in the Charles C. Deam Wilderness.  There were quite a few visitors and I elected not to climb the tower to get a wide view over the forest.  Instead, I hiked along Tower Ridge Road, shooting forest scenes along the roadway.
