Fair Mile Chapel of Rest

Right as you know i take pics in alot of derelict places i a never really have any weird things show up that i can't explain except for this

The Camera was on a tripod on remote shutter as was a small room i was in the door way off to the left of the picture
around 5-6ft away, fired off the 2 shots within seconds and this is
what came out

1st



2nd



It wasnt really that cold not enough to cause breath to be visiable and no one was smoking.

Hi Matt,

Can't explain the haze as is usually the case with these kind of photographs. The interesting thing about the two images is the difference in the colour tempretures, one is rather warm and the other rather cold, but this as you probably know could not be caused by actual tempreture, but a change in white balance or through manually tweaking the RGB levels (on a DSLR).

Of course a sudden change in lighting could cause the camera to auto adjust WB.

In fact a possible explanation for what has happened here is that the camera has auto re-metered the WB as a direct reaction to the mist appearing, causing it to re sample it's point of white (the mist) and therefore changing the color balance throughout the entire image.

If I am correct then at least we know that the mist was actually there at that exact moment and that it wasn't a phenomena specific to the inner workings of the digital camera!

Yes i see what you mean, Back then i was using a Nikon D40x DSLR and was pretty new to it so was shooting with Auto WB so first will be warmer hence focusing on the Brown of the table then 2nd Focusing on the white mist has lightened the shot.

Another thing is the camera dropped afew inches between shots but i put that down to me not tightening the tripod enough and a heavy lens.
