Paul Killeen's lovely photograph embodies two interesting qualities. First, it is (as his photos often are) rather minimalistic with tons of negative space. Second, he radically lightens the foggy scene, which I think can is often a successful approach when photographing fog.
'Reeds In Mist'

A quiet line of winter reeds emerges from soft fog, their warm tones gently reflected in still water. The surrounding space is calm and open, allowing the forms to fade gradually into mist. A successful morning making images.

(Reminding me that I need to get out to "my" coast here in California while the powerful winter seas are present!)

"Building Detail, The Getty" — Curving windows and overhang on a building at the Getty Museum, Los Angeles.

This "archive" photo is unusual in that there is no post for it on my website! I was going through old images and found this one today.

The combination of warm and cool tones in mountain images is often compelling. Christoph Fischer photo.
No churning clouds, no furious winds, no dramatic light breaking through, just the sun's first rays dancing across one of our planet's most spectacular & imposing massifs. Torres del Paine, Patagonia.

These intimate landscapes of stone patterns fascinate me. Ian Gaston photograph.
I was immediately drawn to the way this small stone fit beautifully inside this larger sandstone cavity.

“It was the stillness that stayed with me.”

That is an experience that first surprised me decades ago one evening in the Sierra Nevada wilderness and which has surprised me on a handful of memorable moments since then. When it happens, you won’t forget it.

Matt Payne photos
A small collection from the Cirque of the Unclimbables in early summer.

The scale is obvious, but it was the stillness that stayed with me. Long light, slow weather, granite walls holding everything in place.

A landscape that rewards patience more than urgency.
