I really like the first and third one, Wayne! They are the kind that make me wish I could claim them!!

Thanks. I have other negatives from that era stashed away somewhere that I should get scanned. I spent six months on the coast--too much rain and too much fog, although it did make for interesting pictures. I think the third shot was probably made with a Vemar 28mm lens I had at that time. Couldn't afford a Nikkor.

Yes Craig,
Fog and mist can add so much power and interest to pictures - we should drop everything at the first sign of it really. Even when the shot has been taken, you never know how it will turn out - what looked like a thick shroud of fog can turn out as a few wisps of mist on the final picture.
As Ron and Mickey have mentioned, the third is beautiful... The first has power in it's own right - the mist on the hillsides is a bonus here. I also like the second - the image is there, but could have benefitted from a little fill-in flash. This one might really benefit from a little manipulation in P/S.
As for the last - what is it (if you can remember)? I've had a joke about it on another thread, but it's a really unusual scene. I'm intrigued.
Regards - John

The last picture had me mystified. Now I realize it is a stump farm.

Very nice atmospheric shots, Wayne. Black and white suits this sort of thing beautifully. The mist adds another dimension to depth of field. I too like the first and third shots best. Adaptation of an old saying: "Photographers who have been to Astoria have seen some mists. Photographers who haven't have missed some scenes" Peter

The last photo shows pilings from some long gone complex. The picture of the men is one of my favorites. I was too far away to used a flash. The younger man saw me shooting and threw his are around the old gentleman. I should rescan and try to bring out the faces better. I think they were loading timber on a ship. I do remember it was really foggy that day. BTW, fill flash is tough to use in heavy fog. The fog crystals tend to reflect back toward the cameras as little sparkles.

Love the third picture Wayne. Someone here remarked that it was a kind of "bondage" scene

The years add a seasoning and knowledge, Peter is seasoned, and very knowledgable. He is a mentor of the best sort, and a fountain of information, and well spoken.
