George - Thanks for the hint.  The experience of being in fog is so  
much like living in a Kodak gray card that it's easy to forget the  
photograph of the experience may require something different.  I  
reprocessed my favorite from the last posting by stretching the grey  
scale (increasing black level, increasing exposure, increasing  
contrast) until I thought it would break, vis:

Better?

Here are a couple of others processed the same way.

A couple of pictures I tried this with did break in the form of  
showing so much noise they were unusable.  But for others it worked  
nicely.  I'm looking forward to hearing what others think.

C&C always welcome.   Thanks.

Regards,

Dick
