Saw this wonderful fog the other day and tried to capture it. Turns out it’s not as easy as I first thought. Am not quite happy when th the result yet. Any pointers to how to capture fog well are very welcome :)

    Here are two somewhat heavy handed edits using the jpeg on .world. Obligatory I am not a great editor, but I think the fog needs a touch more definition and a more contrasting background to pop better.

    The first photo has:

    • local contrast to give the fog a little more definition. This is the only thing I masked, everything below was applied to the whole photo
    • shadows and highlights, mostly to crush the treeline behind the fog some and give the fog more contrast
    • tone curve + base curve, again to add some more contrast
    • haze removal to make the tree line darker

    The second edit only has the addition of low light vision to de saturate and further add some contrast.

        Ha, thanks. I’m glad you found the post somewhat informative! It looks like it was a pretty cool scene.
