A foggy afternoon in Galveston - 02-19-2011, 09:31 AM

Yesterday's beautiful weather provided the perfect motivation to grab my camera and head for the beach. Unfortunately, I failed to consider what happens when warm, humid air meets cooler water. I shot this one about 4pm. There were times when I couldn't see more than 50 yards, but it was still worth the trip.

Fog makes for a great giant softbox... Nice shot.

Nice find on the Reddish Egret Morph. I'm thinking about going down there but not sure about the fog.

Thanks to all of you for your comments. Sandy - the fog wasn't too bad, just have a towel ready to wipe off the condensation. The reddish bird I saw had it's breeding colors, and looked pretty good through the fog. He just wasn't very animated. The white morph was very active. (This was taken on East Beach.)
