The forecast this past few days has featured early morning mist, but a new weather pattern is to arrive this evening. So, last chance for some atmospheric photography. So, it's Sunday.... it's 05.45am .....and time to get up. (Can't believe this was my idea!)
We parked near the Flower Pot pub at Ferry Lane, Aston, and walked in the direction of Hambleden Lock. Not a promising start.... too much mist is not a good thing. With sunrise due any moment, at 07.10am no signs of any sun breaking through. Should have stayed in bed!

BUT...... a few moments later, a change, and although no sun in sight, enough light to get some reflections with a little mist skimming the surface. these old timbers were ideal for foreground interest.
At Hambleden lock, the mist really was much thicker and almost no light. This was the best I got, slowing down to a 2second shutter speed and hoping the geese did not move too much.
In desperation, I found these cobwebs!
Croissants and cuppa, on a bench by the lock, then we decided no point hanging around, but instead drove over to Mill Lane to Marsh Lock where the mist was not so thick, and some sign of warmth from the sun.... things were looking up!

Back home by 09.30. Could feel like a long day.
