Picture of the Day - Newport Bridge in the Fog


This is another in a series of photos done on the Oregon Coast. This bridge is in Newport, OR. When I arrived there, the fog was just beginning to lift. There is usually some good photo opportunities when you are in transition from fog to normal daylight. So it was here. Within just a very few minutes of snapping the shutter, the fog was mostly gone and I was bathed in bright sunlight.

There was not much color in the original digital image worth keeping, so I made it a black and white image in post-processing. Without color, the drama of the picture comes through. That is one of the things that I learned about black and white images...many times emotions and drama come through clearer in black and white as there is no color that can be a distraction. There is no doubt that black and white will be a viable photography medium for a long time to come.
