A long flight of stone steps climbs through Edinburgh's Old Town and fades into fog, between dark sandstone walls and a single iron lamp.
The Old Town was built on a ridge, so getting around it on foot means stairs. Some of its closes are more staircase than street. This one is wide, steep and long, with a single rail running up the middle.
Fog changes everything about it. The walls on both sides are sharp and textured close to the camera, then fade as they climb, until the top of the stair turns gray with one light glowing at the end. The lamp on the right and the carved stone post on the left frame it, and everything between them leads up.
The stone here is dark sandstone, blackened by a couple of centuries of coal smoke. That's a big part of why Edinburgh looks the way it does in black and white. In fog the close goes quiet, and you can't tell where the top is.

About “Warriston's Close in Fog”
The Image
"Warriston's Close in Fog" reveals the extraordinary beauty found in unexpected moments. The Old Town was built on a ridge, so getting around it on foot means stairs. Some of its closes are more staircase than street. This one is wide, steep and long, with a single rail running up the middle.
Fog changes everything about it. The walls on both sides are sharp and textured close to the camera, then fade as they climb, until the top of the stair turns gray with one light glowing at the end. The lamp on the right and the carved stone post on the left frame it, and everything between them leads up.
The stone here is dark sandstone, blackened by a couple of centuries of coal smoke. That's a big part of why Edinburgh looks the way it does in black and white. In fog the close goes quiet, and you can't tell where the top is.
Technical Approach
This photograph was captured using a Medium Format Digital camera. Shot during sunrise in fog conditions, the light and atmosphere shaped the character of this image. Summer light, intense and directional, demanded precise timing and careful exposure management.
Location & Subject
The American landscape offers endless variety for the patient photographer. Understanding how light, weather, and season interact with terrain allows meaningful interpretation of natural scenes. Each location presents unique challenges and rewards, requiring technical skill and artistic vision to translate three-dimensional experience into compelling two-dimensional photographs. Black and white photography distills landscapes to their essential elements—form, texture, light, and shadow. Without color to guide the eye, tonal relationships become paramount. Zone System techniques, developed by Ansel Adams for large format film, provide systematic control over these relationships from exposure through printing. The resulting images possess a timeless quality that color photography rarely achieves.
