That's not being particularly fair to your good selves or the conditions. I'm used to evening forays in much less light than that and I saw plenty in the early morning mist - and very spectacular it was too - I think I've said I liked the mist before. There's a world of difference between what you can see and what you can photograph though... it reminded me of that "mists of time too dark to film in " quote from Spike Milligan that I linked to in the http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/fo...rty-frock.html thread.

My attempts to record a couple of the ghostly ponies I came across in Brockenhurst and on the road to the meet came out as mostly cottonwool reflection from the mist but there were nonetheless most evocative encounters. Having to walk round unfamiliar large animals fast asleep in your path in mist made for a memorable journey.
