Lakes’ Mist Photo

Photographer’s Note

The early morning mist over the Cordillera region of Benguet in the Philippines. In the foreground, the Binga Lake, a man-made reservoir of the homonym dam. In the background, covered by the mist, the Ambuklao Lake (also man-made). Both lakes contributed by Agno river. A third dam is being built south of this area, the San Roque Dam.

Photo taken from a helicopter. Scanned picture.

Hello Jorge,
It is not very often that we get a chance to do aerial photography which gives us these unusual perspectives. An excellent photo with an incredible layer effect of the hills and the misty clouds. Great shot!

Hello Jorge,
Wish I was in that helicopter ride as well! The view is absolutely breathtaking! I love the colors of the sky contrasting with the dark mountains and the white mists. The mists helped add texture to the otherwise broody mountain ranges and it turned out perfectly.
Beautiful shot indeed!
TFS.
Cheers,
mayumi

This is good one Jorge. Mist always mesmerizes. The vast land capture and the contrast, depth all came out good.

Thanks for visiting my picture collection as well.

Hi Jorge,

This is an awesome view of mountain ranges beneath the blanket of mist. And what a chance to capture this image of Binga Dam from bird's eye view at low light and aboard a helicopter, I wonder what was your camera settings here?
