Oaks in Fog, Sunrise, Carmel Valley, California The image Oaks in Fog, Sunrise has not been offered for sale previously, and appropriately enough it’s from right here in Carmel Valley. The image was made on a misty morning not far, as the crow flies, from our home. As I began exploring this wonderful area of oak trees, the ridge was completely enshrouded in fog. My wristwatch indicated that the sun had already risen, but there was no evidence of it. Then suddenly the fog began to lift and thin, and the sun appeared through the mist-filled sky, creating an ethereal illumination among the oaks. I worked very quickly with my Linhof 4x5 camera and 120mm lens. I exposed two negatives, as I typically do, giving them an identical exposure. Even though only a few seconds passed between the two exposures, the diffused fog and lighting had changed. Within a moment or two after exposing the negatives the entire scene was in full sun, and the magical quality of light had evaporated. This print is offered in a Limited Edition of 100 numbered silver gelatin prints, plus 10 Artist’s Proofs. When the edition is sold out no further prints will be made for sale in any size. If you’re interested in owning this particular print, based upon past experience, I might humbly suggest that you place your order soon. Prints will ship within two weeks from the date of order.
