JACK LARSON PHOTOGRAPHY
Out of the Mist
Posted by john4jack (Corvallis, Oregon, United States) on 15 March 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
Heads Up: A new friend of mine on PictureSocial, Marie, from Western Australia, just joined aminus3. Please give her work a look, along with an aminus3 welcome. Her frangipani yesterday is gorgeous. http://upsadaisy.aminus3.com/ Thanks everybody.
To change the course of your life, choose one of two basic methods:
1. You can direct your energy and attention toward trying to fix your
mind, find your focus, affirm you power, free your emotions, and
visualize positive outcomes so that you can finally develop the
confidence to display the courage to discover the determination to make the
commitment to feel sufficiently motivated to do what it is you need to do.
2. Or you can just do it."

@rem_la: I'm a sucker for fog.
Suzanne from Huntington Bch, California, United States
Like snow, I love how fog edits out so much unwanted clutter in a landscape...leaving only the best to look at.

zOOm from Paris, France
Great panoramic picture... a nice tribute to trees, survivors of all seasons.
15 Mar 2009 12:20pm
@zOOm: Survivors; I like that. Seems that in life, there are victims and there are survivors. Choose survival!
Barbara from Florida, United States
Like a field of dreams. There is a feeling of balance to the simplicity. Fog in an image reaises emotion for me.
Excellent quote.

That is another lovely shot.
I checked out Marie. She is going to be a welcome addition to the blog world.

Another beautiful B&W...I love the solitude of this.
15 Mar 2009 1:52pm
@Tracy: Tracy, It was an incredible morning. I had just gotten my D700 and I was out on a backroad on this incredible foggy morning. The solitude was magnificent. It was a holy hour.
JJ from Jersey City, United States
Superb shot, and for the quote option 2 seems to be the best path

EYES WIDE SHUT from United Kingdom
Ha ha the quote is simply brilliant. And the photograph sublime in mono, Jack. The trees take on individual characteristics. I could seriously hug them all
15 Mar 2009 2:32pm
@EYES WIDE SHUT: What I love are the ones that you can barely make out on the left.
Observing from North West, United Kingdom
This type of shot really does well in monochrome, I love the misty haze beyond the trees.
