Yes, that's about the last ridge I've go to cross on my way home - it was also the last chance to get a decent image, as the sun was going down quickly behind the next one (where we live). Right next to the right, one could see the Airport of Zurich, from where this was taken.
And she appears to be eyeing something delicious!
Very cool shot! Brilliant use of lighting!
Nice gradient of light with the different layers. Sweet!
Yes, it's still (way to) warm here.
Thank you for your kind comments.And she appears to be eyeing something delicious!

Yes, that's how it is, around Zurich airport. Driving east-wards, it gets rural soon.
Thank you, David. I was of the same opinion: that's leaning far out of the window, using such a tele. I had been thinking the fisheye was limiting, using it for OF, and now, I thought the tele was too. I like to challenge myself, a bit. Shooting portraits all day indeed would get boring over 31 days... (for me, not being the portrait pro or flash nut).
That’s a huge tree! Interesting look with the fog.And back to foggy shooting
Normally, I'm more like Jim / Pa: getting up early, that gives you better options, photo-wise ... This time, it's another stop on my way to work. Stop in the swamps, enjoy the first beams of light, take a picture, go to work :/
I captured an impressive tree, who's trunk still was befogged, and tried to get a good composition. No way the whole tree would get into the frame, using the 200. This one was about the furthest distance I could get at. I will put a different framing into the bucket: a rather un-usual portrait oriented 16:9 pano (well, more of a 9-16 then, actually):

I agree with Ken and Klaus ... exceptionally nice, spooky shot. Very well done. But it needs a witch and a cauldron under that tree!And back to foggy shooting

Thank you, Gentlemen, for the nice comments. Yes, I happened to get there in nice (absence of) light, and could take quite a few good shots of other subjects as well. I will return to see what I can take again on an other October day.
Thank you very much! Yes, that's the movie coming to my mind (or the book, more so. I've read that 3 times before the movies even existed.)
Roland that reminds me of the book "Lord of the Rings". When the alliance started to travel to Bree, they met the old big willow...
Fantastic
Klaus
Thank you also for your technical comment, indeed, exposing correctly needed a bit of thinking. Normally I use matrix and have a - 1/3 dialed in for the D3, sometimes lower. As there was practically no direct light, no white surface, and quite some fog, I left out the correction, went to +/- 0, and voilà - got that with the first attempt (exposure wise, not the framing).
Harry, you're too kind. I'm with you, missing witch and cauldron!
