For fog images rolling into Cape Town (we tried at several locations before), we met up with a few other people at 4am and we hiked up Kloof, Table Mountain.  And there it was, fog rolling in and covering the city of Cape Town, with the lights illuminating through the fog.  I had never seen anything quite like this before, it was very ethereal and so beautiful!

I took my first image at 5.15am and continued to shoot until the sunrise, where we started to see these beautiful high levels form above Lions Head, a truly unbelievable and unusual treat!  What an incredible experience it was that morning!   I must admit It has definitely inspired me to push myself as a photographer to get that extraordinary shot and I am very excited to include this particular image in my portfolio.

Camera body: Olympus OM1

Post processing: Not too much was done in post processing really just straightened, brightened lightened, cleaned up a few spots here and there.  And of course dodged and burned the side of Lion’s Head. A small vignette to draw the eye into the focal point of Lions Head.
