Most of the lake was covered by a thick fog. This was the first time I saw Bodenseee like this.
As you can see I’m still playing with photographic frames. Changing blending styles, frame styles and so on.

In reality it was a misty autumn morning that got some extra processing in Lightroom to make it look slightly different. I especially like the way the boats came out. But in order to appreciate it you need to see the big version of this photo. My Flickr friends can do this by going to ‘All sizes’.

This time a black & white version. If you follow my Flickr photostream you have probably guessed by now that I tend to take a lot of photos around Lake Constance. Well, I am there at least three times a week with around two hours to spare. As the area is very picturesque I end up wandering around looking for fresh views and angles, trying out new techniques, lenses and such. This time I wanted to see how the 70-300mm zoom will perform at 300mm with VR turned off. I had he camera mounted on my trusty old Manfrotto 055 tripod, crowned with Markins Q3 ball head in order to eliminate any unwanted camera shake. I am rather happy with how the photo turned out. Despite of some people stating that this lens is soft at 300mm, I find it sharp enough for my needs.

I managed to squeeze in few shots before another one of my ‘Equestrian Sessions’ has started. The light was pure magic this evening. The passing horse just adds to the rustic atmosphere of this place.
