Through the Fog
At dawn, on a morning in early Fall, I left my hotel room in London, Ontario to drive back to my home in Toronto. I had visited London the day before to give a talk to a local photographic group. Rather than take the main highway home, I decided to drive the back-country roads though Ontario's farmland. I looked forward to the leisurely drive because the day was forecast to be fair, and I had a new long-lens for my Contax medium format system that I was interested in giving its first field test.
My plans went somewhat awry as a fog started to develop before there was even enough light to see by, and it remained very foggy for the next three hours. What I hoped would be an enjoyable landscape shoot in farm country turned into a slow and anxious drive through heavy fog.
