Early Morning Fog

Woke up early the other morning and there was a lot of fog. Not very normal for Houston so I have not had much practice  photographing fog.  This was my feeble attempt at fog picture.  

This was shot from my balcony looking into the parking lot next door.  Always a learning experience for me, or should I say "An Opportunity for Growth".  

This shot was hand held (to lazy to drag out the tripod at 7 am).  This was at 1/30 sec at f/9 ISO 4000.  Yes I did use Topaz Denoise to clean it up a little. 

What did I learn?  USE THE DAMN TRIPOD!  Okay now that I said that what else is there?  Long exposure and ISO 100 or 200 and maybe f/16.  

So now it's wait for FOG and being up early.  Maybe a long wait.
