Hi, duc. Don't let a little fog deter you ..... Quite often the Conowingo Dam is engulfed in fog. What is frustrating is that the place has become so popular that one has to arrive early to get a decent parking space. So, I leave home in the morning dark, drive 50 miles as the sun is just coming up. A beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. As I start down a winding one mile road to the dam, the sunlight begins to diminish and when I arrive at water level you can't see a thing. So, I get a nice parking spot at 7:00 a.m. and sit and wait for the fog to burn off around 10:30 a.m to 11:00 a.m. That is, unless you want to get an occasional shot like these. Autofocus doesn't work too well in the fog ........... The eagles must have x-ray vision since there are power lines all over the place.
