It was indeed a beautiful morning here in Saint Paul, the warm air moving into the atmosphere and the fog filling the valleys and waterways. And taking the advice of a photography blog I read regularly, I got out and relished in the mysterious moods and settings that only fog can convey.

What I particularly enjoy about photography is not just taking the pictures, but messing with the RAW data—tweaking contrast and saturation values, adjusting the brightness and shadow levels, and extracting the kind of mood and emotions I want the photos to convey. Some purists might frown on manipulating the photos to create something that wasn’t there; but that’s what painters do in a sense. Some take real imagery and recreate it to accentuate feelings or ideas—it is the same for me when I manipulate my photos.
