day 16

I posted a shot about contrast on day 9, but following some lovely fog chat with @mothninjaAnna and others yesterday, I thought today I'd feature some pictures of obscurity and diffusion and all that lovely atmosphere that exists when things are not sharp, bright, or clear at all.

As a lighting designer we more normally get to play with this stuff in theatrical scenarios than architectural, but as a photographer it's always fun to attempt capturing when you get the chance.

A view over an Edinburgh street at night. The warm streetlighting gives the buildings a gentle glow from ground level with occasional lit windows punctuating the facades. In the distance, high above the rooftops, the peak of Arthur's Seat - our local mini-mountain - rises faintly from a deep blue mist.Flying over the Firth Of Forth on a hazy, misty day. Everything is a pale shade of gray or blue, but if you look closely you can just make out the distinct forms of the enormous bridges across the estuary, far below.Crepuscular rays show the path of sunlight down through an early morning mist, broken up by the delicate leaves and branches of some trees.A giant bubble stadium glows, in the mist.
