I was headed to the shore yesterday to photograph. The ground is covered with snow mostly and it is difficult to find something interesting for the foreground. The seaside however, is often filled with interesting formations, just waiting to be discovered. But as I was driving I was pleasantly surprised, the fields by the road were covered with cold fog. So I made a quick change in my plans. The sunset was approaching rather quickly and the fog looked promising. From the distance the fog always looks thick and real, it is best to photograph it with a long lens. But I was headed to the seaside, so unfortunately I did not bring it along. As I was moving towards the fog, suddenly I was inside it and visibility was close to none and by the time I managed to get my gear and composition ready, the fog has disappeared into the distance. So I had to be fast and quickly follow the fog. I was looking around and realized that I am in the middle of a spectacularly beautiful moment, but to capture that entirely is very difficult. But still, I wanted to bring it across as much as possible. You can find more from this evening on my website www.andreireinol.com/New-Works
In the evening I made plans to go out to shoot (take photos) in the morning. Meteorological Center predicted that by morning there will be array of clouds coming from north east. But that meant that the sun that rises the opposite direction, would give light and color to those approaching clouds and the sunrise seemed promising. Well, you can never be certain in the weather prognosis but chances were pretty good. One question remained, where exactly was I supposed to be in order to capture this magnificent light. It all depended on how quickly those clouds were moving. That also meant that I had to pick an unknown place for me. Lately weather has been changing quickly, cold alternating with thaw. Nature around here had nothing spectacular to offer, the fields were all thinly covered with snow, waters sealed with ice + snow, and the dry air didn´t make it possible for the trees to frost to make them white and stand out from the background. The sea was not frozen and there were no blizzards to create interesting formations. So I was a bit perplexed and in the morning drove around like a true light-catcher. Neighborhoods were full of power lines, buildings and other man-made objects, that did not belong into my picture. Finally I found an old leafless tree and decided to stay there. In the foreground was a problem, solid white snow had no patterns and was not too attractive. But sunrise itself was beautiful as expected. As it turned out later, beautiful light covered a pretty broad part of the land, and many people were able to enjoy this wonderful play of light and color. Some saw it as they were driving to work and some by standing in the middle off it all in the field. My Facebook Page Website Vimeo
