You can't expect much when shooting in the middle of a fog bank. But, putting the camera on at least a tripod, you can bump up the ISO so you can hopefully get a decent shutter speed to stop the car. Taking pictures in low light conditions, hand-held, is futile.

I had a monopad but ditched it since I couldn't pan correctly with it. Had to go handheld. The cars were going from side to side but also from top to bottom of the frame and angling the monopod with a fence in the way wasn't working.

Photography can be a lot of fun.

Sometimes fog can be used to your advantage.

Hmm. I actually like that. You can see the trees in the background a lot more and the car is much sharper but it still has the antique look and some fogginess in the background. I thought the fog added to the total atmosphere.

In the end, I like using photography to capture memories of the events as they happened, so I document the fog as it was. But that photoshop does look good. I like both versions for different reasons. I think I like your version better since it is sharper and more vibrant yet it still has the fogginess visible in the background.

OK, now I am turning in.

Caroline and I are going to figure out a day in a couple weeks to go ride in Prefumo Canyon. She is busy like me. She does basketball as well.

Film and sensors can't completely capture what your eyes actually see. Pulling up what they can't really catch is what I try to do with photoshop. There is also differences in what a monitor and reproduce and what can be printed.

weird compression and graininess on those. might be my computer

The white car was cropped out of a much larger photo taken in very low dusk light.

The viola turbo was als cropped from a larger photo, and because of the sun reflections the car was originally very very dark. There are limits to how much you can push the data.

Hi all,

One day I'd like to have the time to learn more about my camera and photography.

I do like sunsets :D
