Kermit, The Fog

Early-Morning Blanket Over Melbourne

Photographs copyright: DAVID McMAHON


It's pretty unusual to have fog at this time of year, especially when the weather is still much warmer than normal (31 Celsius today). The first frame was shot on Springvale Road at 5am, the second at Southbank, just before 8am. I just liked the tendrils of fog around the unusually-shaped building, which was across the river from where I stood. Just left of centre in that shot is not a smudge on the lens, it's a bird! In a few hours from now, I'll post a couple more shots that show just how easily the fog can conceal a skyscraper. Watch this space!

5a.m.?

What a disgustingly uncivilised hour to be up and about!

Unless, like me, you were just thinking about going to bed.

But I doubt that!

Beautiful shot. It looks almost like something out of a scary movie.

Aw, 5am ain't that bad. Especially if you know there's a good photograph waiting to be taken!

Hi Jenera,

I have to say, the light was amazing. It was like watching a silent movie in vivid colour with no sound!
