Sunrise and Fog

You might think this is a difficult exposure to make; it really is not. There are some really dark areas; there are some really bright areas; but neither is really dominant and so does not cause a problem for the camera's meter. Trust the camera with this scene and it will probably do a decent job.

There are two subtle things I would like to point out. First, I intentionally positioned myself such that the full sun was not beaming directly into the camera. The sun is partially obscured. Second, given a choice between the highlights and the shadows, the highlights are more important. So, to be safe, I under-exposed by maybe 2/3 stop to insure that detail in the fog is retained.
