Reflections and Refractions

Any photographer will tell you that photography is all about the light. In fact, the word is derived from the Greek photos ("light") and graphe ("drawing").

$Foggy Refractions$

One morning this past week, it was quite foggy which did little to nothing for my sunrise images. On the way home, I pass a golf club that happens to have a small pond just off the first tee. It's often quite still and becomes a rather enchanting reflection pool. I pulled in the driveway at the off chance that this might be the case that morning. Much to my delight I found light having quite the celebration - creating subdued foggy reflections of the trees lining the pond's south shore, and stunning spotlight refractions beaming skyward behind the conical pines.

As I moved around the pond, the sun's light became a starburst showing its rays ethereally through the fog and later it wrapped itself around a tree trunk clearly showing off its versatility.

The light fog muted the bright colors of Spring creating a pastel-toned image with a variety of softened shapes, textures, and light. What a delightful morning surprise.
