Heading out the other morning with dog in tow, I stepped outside into a heavy fog that had rolled in overnight shrouding the New Hampshire coast line and triggering repetitive fog horn blows. It was like stepping into an impressionist painting.
Reaching Portsmouth, the fog had lifted somewhat. With more gloom than fog, I happened on the flag pole. Many, many, many shots were taken trying different levels of zoom and angles to catch the well weathered and awkwardly flying stars and stripes when extended by a slight and erratic offshore breeze. I could lie and say Comet was patient, though he was mostly for a dog unless a dog, any dog, walked by.
Shooting the Leica SL using its native 24-90mm zoom lens, my biggest concern was whether (unintentional pun, promise) the fog would interfere with its AF. It didn’t miss a beat. (For all the photos in the post some cropping has occurred as well as some light Lightroom (coincidence, promise) editing to remove a few lens spots courtesy of a damp lens.) (Why the last three shots in this group? For the solitary rower crossing from right to left.)
