Alaska Morning Fog by Cindy Lynch

October 2026 - Alaska Morning Fog

About the Image(s)

I took this on a recent cruise to Alaska. I was fascinated every morning with the for, mist and low hanging clouds. I wonder if the whites are okay? Do they detract as blown out? Also, I know most good monochrome images have a full range of tones with pure white and pure black. Thoughts? Settings: f/5.6, 59 mm, 1/500 and ISO 400

Hello Cindy. Beautiful image; the cruise must have been a wonderful experience.
I find the B&W conversion, and resulting tonal range to be very well done.
Though further from the camera, I find more of interest on the left 2/3rds of the image; I've attached a crop of the part of the image that draws my attention, retaining some of the trees for scale, and reducing the foreground.
What do you think?   Posted: 10/09/2026 17:12:55

Cindy, this is a lovely image - I love landscapes in black and white. I don't find the whites in the sky blown out - to me, you have achieved good tonal range from white to black and good texture in the rocks. I like Charles' crop - taking out some of the foreground helps my eye to focus more on that beautiful swath of cloud/mist streaming towards the left from between the peaks. Looks like it was a wonderful trip.   Posted: 10/13/2026 02:21:00

I agree the fog in the front is a lot of dead space. I tried to brighten up the mountain as it was a little dark for me. Good eye and capture.   Posted: 10/15/2026 14:54:15

Hi Cindy,

Great landscape shot....only change suggestion is I agree with cropping out the bottom fog.   Posted: 10/17/2026 16:07:52
