Cool, calm autumn mornings at the lake create spectacular scenes. The warmth of the rising sun chasing away mist over the water awakens colour in everything it touches.

Shorter days and cooler nights are upon us. With a little humidity overnight, we get some great moody moments.

There are so many reasons to love fall. Clear skies seems so much bluer in the cooler air. Of course, all the vibrant shades of the rainbow are painted on the hillsides take your breath away. But one of my favourite autumn things is a calm misty morning at the lake.
The June ‘super moon’ was setting as we rose for work this morning. It may not look like a super moon but by the time it dropped to the horizon, the sun had brightened the sky so much the moon faded completely from view. I’ll share a few shots of it rising in my next post.
One of the stops on our January business trip was at Canal Park, Duluth MN. Our hotel was at the edge of the harbour on Lake Superior. The morning light was so gentle.
Here’s a screen shot in Lightroom, before and after view, of my not so black and white misty morning image.
The saturation slider (last slider in the adjustment panel on right hand side) was moved all the way to the left removing all colour.
In Photoshop, we can look at the pixels up close. Using the colour picker tool, we can select an area of the image to see what the colour is. I hovered the eyedropper over a grey part of the image just above and to the right of the dialogue box and clicked. I tried this in a number of areas of the image with consistent results. (When I attempted a screen shot capture to share my findings, the eyedropper vanished from the screen! The image below was shot with my iPhone!)
Did you guess the hint of colour is orange? Darker shades of orange become brown and when added to an image create a sepia or aged look.
So my original image had a natural infusion of sepia!
