Flying Over The Fog

by Philippe Sainte-Laudy

Mountains in the morning mist.

Equipment: Nikon D300 – Nikon 18/200mm

Philippe Sainte-Laudy

The beauty of nature is all around us at all times, but there are brief moments when a combination of elements present themselves in a truly spectacular way.
Anybody who is fortunate enough to witnesses one of these events will look back fondly upon the memory.
And they are even more fortunate if they happen to have a camera ready to record the event.
In order to be in the right place at the right time, it is necessary to understand the complex interactions between light, weather, landscape, the tides, plants, and animals. And it is important to have a deep respect for this planet and its inhabitants.
I hope that photography can bring people closer to nature and encourage them to preserve it for future generations.

I live about 45 minutes from the “smoky mountains” and am honored to see elements (layerings of some of the elements you’ve captured) on a regular basis.

My goodness, Phillippe, this photo is a delight to behold!

Beautiful photo indeed. Although recognizing the same flock of birds in another picture of yours (in a specular inversion) may provide less poetical feelings than those you want to convey.
