Morning Mists across Bridports' Hills
An early morning today as I woke to see my village and the surrounding valley filled with swirling mists. I headed out to see what I could find and seeing it was lying across the Bridport valley, I went up to the hills behind Colmers Hill.
By the time I got up there, some of the mists were already rising and the sun was a little high in the sky, causing some high contrast conditions.
It was a lovely early morning start to the day and wonderful scene unfolded across the valley, the hills and across the Marshwood Vale.
The first shot was a panoramic using a 50mm lens in portrait mode, using 5 images, merged in Photoshop.
The second is using a Nikon 70-200mm F2.8 lens, which is a cracking lens, on a 2x converter. I roamed across the countryside using the viewfinder until I found a scene with fields and trees fading off into the distance and into the mist.
