In the murk

[JamesT]

Crowhole Bottom and Hackpen Hill (with a cow), on a very murky day last October. 6x12 format with the ultra-wide 65mm lens which is much more flexible on 6x12 than on 5x4 where there's often just too much foreground.

HP5+ pushed to 1600.

Not familiar with the place names, but I imagine Oxfordhire?

Yes, just off the Ridgeway, a few miles west of Wantage. There is another Hackpen Hill on the Ridgeway in Wiltshire as well.

That certainly is a very descriptive phrase for that image James... very murky ...I can feel that clinging mist and almost hear the muffled moos ... a rather melancholy scene....

@Clicker: It was actually probably even murkier than it looks. Conditions looked reasonable down in town, but when I got up on the ridge it was soupy. Only took a few frames, pushing by 2 stops to try to get a little contrast. I think it worked a little better than previous attempts to shoot in thick mist / fog which have tended to be very flat.
