    Default FOG Bow

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    A fog bow is a similar phenomenon to a rainbow; however, as its name suggests, it appears as a bow in fog rather than rain.
    A bit 'wacky' perhaps, but hey, it's all about having fun. Shot from the bow of the ice breaker.

    Thanks to those who viewed or posted a comment on the previous thread.

    Steve, a lot of my images look like this...and it's quite unintentional! I keep putting my head on the side to view this image. The colour of water is gorgeous. I really like the composition and the balance of icy water and sky. The fish eye lens has made me see the curvature of the earth. A vision that maybe a banking albatross sees as he glides over the ice.

    Just beautiful Steve. Thank you for sharing

    I would like to see this level. While interesting and technically well done, I just want to turn my head.

    Lovely colour & detail Steve.. I have a photog friend who witnessed her first Fog bow last year and there are images of her running around like a crazy person in the 'bow'.. A 55 year old kid.. I too would prefer it level.

    best regards

    Hi Steve, Lovely colors and tones but if I am honest the tilted horizon make me turn my head to the side when I look at it.

    Hurrah folks, it did exactly what I wanted it to do, whether it's liked or not that wasn't the real intention, all I wanted was to provoke an action i.e. tilting a head, breaking the norm, but having fun.

    I wouldn t change nothing here.. The slight curve makes me almost a viewer from a close space. A good "planet view".
