Monochrome Morning

40.365 18mm f5.6 1/100 ISO 400When I turned on the radio yesterday morning I heard there was a fog advisory for Denver and I immediately started thinking about all the cool places I could go with my camera.  If I didn't have a million other things to do, that is.  I had plans to host a baby shower brunch at my house mid-morning so instead of leaving on a photo safari I loaded my son in the car and headed to pick up a few last-minute things at the grocery store.

I couldn't possibly resist pulling over and firing off a couple shots of the misty lake in my neighborhood on the way.  I could have stayed there for an hour finding some deliciously moody composition, but with a two-year-old waiting in the back seat and a party to get to I gave myself the wide angle and permission to stop for 90 seconds.

Oh Creen - this is awesome.

I love this--beautiful minimalist shot nabbed under pressure! With two smallish kids I can entirely relate--you take the shot quickly and get out quickly. Sounds more like a covert operation really...
