Early morning along the Columbia River brings fog, low and high clouds and the colors of sunrise. I really like how the whole scene appeared in three distinct layers—the fog, the low cloud, touch of color from the sunrise and the high clouds. As I sat with my coffee and camera, I wanted to capture all these elements. I tried various exposures however I could never get the fog along the river looking like I was seeing it. This photo is the best of the lot.Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3 on a tripod, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 shot at 70mm, ISO 200, f/11 and 1/30th of a second.
Post Processing:
Lightroom—Set black and white points, increased mid-tone contrast and changed saturation of various colors.
Cool pix. Love the layers within it.

Based upon this photo I am ready to head to Oregon. Beautiful.

The colors seem somewhat muted but that may be due to the early morning. Like the simple composition.

I like this one a lot. It shows a lot about the nature of this area in a very simple form.

I like the pix however something seems to be missing from it. It needs a central focus point.

Seems like it's missing the most important part -- the payoff in the center. I like the top and bottom, which makes you want to get that wow from the horizon even more.
