Hi all, over the past few days i had to be in my car fairly early in the morning, bout half hour before sunrise, to get to work at another store an hour away as they were short staffed, and there was always fog. As i was driving and took the usual left turn a the end of my long drive way, i started to look at things differently that i seen thousands of times that i never really paid attention to( true that you will suffer from the photographers eyes in this hobby). For example just bout 30 secs after turning left theres a nut farm, and through the fog i fell in love with the depth of visible field effect had on the serenity and feel of the place. Another is fog through the dead empty street of the main st of my town, with a closed cement works and few lights with the fog gave me the feeling of erie mystery behind the town(well to me anyways). Plus many others, but for some i will have to leave earlier to get there for the effect i want. Thinking of making separate early morning starts (which i dont mind really, as long as i have me coffee and shower), so i can have the time to do one or two subjects at a time.
So i finally get to my question(sorry bout the prologue):
Any tips/advice for this type of photography? Im assuming using shutter priority mode for this, as a start anyways. Also, since it is bit misty, will this effect my camera? i dont care bout the photos as much as my gear. And another, im thinking to get there just before 1 hour to set up equipment. I assume that if i just stay at one subject for the morning and take a bunch of photos and experiment. Is that good time frame??
Im hoping to do this through out the next few weeks. If this weather isnt going to be too crazy(its summer here but its more winter, flooding and so on). Evan if i get up earlier before work at my store.
Any help will be, as always, appreciated!
Cheers
