Foggy Evening

Alexa popped a notice onto my phone: a yellow warning for heavy fog. It was Saturday evening, and we had just watched an episode of Boyd. Well, we call it Boyd, but that is the protagonist's name, the head cop on Waking the Dead. It's a series that was shot from about 25 to 15 years ago that has stood the test of time, and there have been enough episodes to get us through February and into March.

Of course, I digress. Sorry: it's habitual.

I had been preparing to go up to my den and watch the hockey game, but the weather alert caused to peer out. I popped my head out the door. There wasn't much to shoot amidst our townhouses, but one tries.

Back in the house and upstairs, I tried my long exposure phone app. I am not very familiar with it, but I tried a couple of 2 second exposures to try to capture the car lights moving across the frame. It's an effect that one may or may not like. You will notice that the whole scene tends to blur on the phone. I don't mind that.

We decided to go around to the park. It's just around the corner. We sure wouldn't have wanted to drive any farther in the pea soup.

I thought the little phone relay station, or whatever its name, looked interesting in the atmospheric conditions.

Sue was following her own muse. I liked the shadow that she cast.

A car came toward us. The light diffused and were also picked up by the puddle and pavement. I have two versions of the same image, the second one a little more processed. I can't make up my mind.

In retrospect, we should have gone the other way than the park where there are more interesting lights and structures, but I glad we did what we did before I went home to catch the final period of the hockey game.
