A thick fog blanketed the landscape in Lancaster on St Stephens Day, or Boxing Day, or if you like, ‘the day after Christmas.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fog transmits sound with great clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d stopped at the local Post Office, when I heard Norfolk Southern’s New Holland Branch local whistling for a nearby crossing. I postponed my errand, and drove to the Willow Road grade crossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a sunny morning, the westside of the crossing would be fiercely backlit, but the heavy fog allowed for a view with the distant farm with softer contrast. Compare these images from the view I posted a few days ago (http:\/\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/grab-shot-on-the-new-holland-secondary\/<\/a> ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The point of the comparison is to show how to use different lighting conditions to the greatest advantage, and make the best photo depending on prevaling conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made the December 26th photos from the side of the road using my Nikon Z7-II. I cropped the files to improve the composition, while making adjustments to highlight and shadow detail and color temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
