Over the Christmas break I headed out for a walk a number of times. Quite often I found myself taking the Fuji X-T2. Now that I have the 18-135mm lens, I find I’m using it more frequently as a “grab and go” camera. I’m also very pleased with the results.
On this particular morning, it was quite dull and grey. A heavy fog had descended and I didn’t hold out much hope of capturing anything useful. We decided to walk over to Doverstones reservoir as this can be quite atmospheric in the fog.
Our route took us along the canal which is when it happened. The sun started to break through the mist and the gave a lovely warm glow to the morning. It lasted around 20 minutes, during which time I managed a few different compositions. This one I seem to like in particular although it was quite tricky to process.
In the end I have did most of the processing in Lightroom. I started by applying the Fuji “Camera Pro Neg Std.” colour profile. I did try other profiles such as Astia and Provia, but all seemed to create a very false look to the colour. I find it’s always worth experimenting with the colour profiles as many seem to improve the Adobe Standard default profile.
I hope you like the image and have a great weekend.

A beautiful photo, was the quality acquired from your favourite camera or the lightshop? I believe that on this occasion, it is your brilliance on lightshop.
Please carry on producing shots like this
Kind regards

Lovely, peace-inducing image. Many thanks and happy new year!
Wonderful image. I owned this lens, liked it a lot but sold it from overlap. Well done!
Lovely image that conveys atmosphere very well.
Great image. Good when you can be in the right place at the right time with the proper equipment.
Love the composition, reflections and ethereal colouring.
Thank you, the misty morning did most of it.
Beautifully atmospheric
Thank you. I was lucky with this one.
