We don't get a lot of fog in Calgary. It can make for interesting and evocative photos. A buddy of mine did several of an LRT station shrouded in fog and the result was wonderful. It took a utilitarian concrete structure and made it beautiful.
On Tuesday I was driving downtown to meet up with some photo buddies for a film ramble. There were patches of fog, but it was rapidly clearing. By the time I got parked downtown it was essentially gone. From there the day got progressively brighter. This was all film for me, so watch for it on my photoblog page.
I was driving home from a community association meeting on Tuesday night, loving how the fog, streetlights, and trees interacted. Once home I grabbed the camera gear and headed out again. For a while I thought I'd missed my chance, then the fog rolled in again. I scurried from place to place, sometimes having to wait as the fog lifted or blew again, then came back again.

Then Wednesday I was trying to figure out a walk to capture the frost on the trees. What made it tricky is that often the frost was only on the east half of the trees, with a white sky, white ground, and some white fog obscuring houses and other background dark things that would provide contrast. Here's what I came up with, in two parts. Today is out and about, next time is in our garden. I was carrying both digital and 35mm film, and there were several cases where I was wishing I'd brought different lenses.
