The fog returned yesterday to San Francisco — with a difference: it was apparently colored, eerily, by smoke from distant fires. At Lands End, in the northwest corner of the city, it was not only foggy but dark well into mid-morning. I was working without a “middle gray” reference card, and so, after the fact, it is a challenge to make the image show the precise tone of the atmosphere. I can describe it only as a variant of sepia.
