"Foggy Walk"

Photo courtesy of Juanita L. Ruffner.                  (Click on the photo for a larger view) Today's picture features a "walk" down a beautiful wooded lane on a foggy October morning. Misty scenes abound in many places around the globe during the fall season, but photographer Juanita Ruffner has captured this one in spectacular fashion. Here is her story behind the image: "My hubby and I made our way to Beaver Creek State Park. We both enjoy coming here a lot. He's been very supportive of me and my photography, and I appreciate it very much. The road that leads into it is just as scenic and beautiful as the park itself. I was drooling and could hardly contain myself when I saw and felt like I hit the 'jackpot'. Fog everywhere and the sun filtering through - I was in heaven!"    --Juanita Ruffner The camera and settings used to capture this image: Camera: Nikon D300 Focal length: 65mm Shutter speed: 1/200 second Aperture: 5/5.6 ISO: 200 Exposure compensation: +0.7 step   Visitor Comments...
