Rorschach Chart


Conditions that produce a morning like this might come along only once or twice a year.  Usually, it is in late summer or early fall when the water is still warm, but the night air has begun to cool significantly.  Fog usually won't develop in the presence of wind and neither do good water reflections, so a lack of wind is almost essential.   Then it is a matter of deciding how best to portray it.  A photo with the horizon line exactly centered is in danger of producing a very static photo.  But, to not have included the reflections from the clouds would have been to only tell half the story.  After all, you need an entire Rorschach chart to be able to tell what it is.
