One morning earlier this week I noticed the sun has risen over some nearby hills. It was incredibly misty. This gave the sun a slightly eerie feel while also enhancing the natural beauty of the surrounding area.
I took a couple of shots on my camera and checked them on the LCD screen but wasn’t overly impressed. I took another shot with my phone and posted it on Instagram. Instagram when wild for the image. As the rest of the world was quite taken by the shot, I gave it a quick crop and a tiny edit and added it to the #MySundayPhoto linky (click on the badge below for to see some awesome photography).
Are you holding tight? Are you ready for the technical details? Well here you go; ISO was 100, exposure time 1/200 of a second, focal length 55mm and aperture f7.1.
Do you like the image? Do you find it a bit eerie? Perhaps you see the natural beauty? Please leave a comment below, I’d love to know your thoughts.

Looks like something out of the British period movie, just lovely! I think I am a closet Brit.
I love the mist and the sunlight trying to push through- great capture! I can definitely imagine a dark figure emerging from the trees. #MySundayPhoto
Really glad you like. It seems to have proven very popular on #MySUndayPhoto as wella sInstagram.
I love it! It’s amazing how sometimes phone shots can be the best ones!
Thanks Sarah. Yeah, phone shots certainly have their place I think.
Yes, love it
Feels very eerie, we need to go exploring one day with our cameras
Thank you for linking up
This is beautiful, I love the light above the sun itself #MySundayPhoto
I definitely find it eerie. I can almost feel the chill in the air from your shot x
Beautiful photo, very atmospheric.
Atmospheric, yes, that’s the word. Thanks for commenting Sarah.
Would love to take a walk through the mist, all wrapped up, with a cold nose!
Definitely cold nose kind of weather! Thanks foe stopping by Carol.
Not eerie at all – I see the beauty of a new day dawning, full of hope. Did the sun break through fully as it warmed the soil below?
Oh yes, the sun did eventually break through. Took quite a while though!
I think this photo captured the power of the sun! No matter how thick the mist it cant cover the light that the sun emits! #mysundayphoto
That’s a great way to think about it Merlinda. It does how the power of the sun doesn’t it?
Defnitely natural but eerie. A great example of how sometimes the most simple of shots can be the most effective.
Tim, you are very kind! Simplicity is sometimes the best.
Wow! It is so beautiful! Which phone are you using? I love the mist of the clouded sky trying to hold back the sun. Just beautiful. #MySundayPhoto
Ah, now this shot was taken with my DSLR, not my phone. I took a different shot with my phone (but of the same landscape). Glad you like it.
I think the mist gives another layer of depth; I like it 🙂
I agree Lisa. It was very strange, a few hours later it was all gone. I thought thta mist would be around all day.
