Misty, foggy conditions can be fantastic for breathing new life into a landscape image composition, but they require a different approach than normal conditions to produce a compelling final image. This helpful video tutorial will give you some useful tips for shooting in misty conditions to ensure you come home with the best possible photos.
Coming to you from Mike Browne, this awesome video tutorial will show you some helpful tips for taking great landscape shots in misty conditions. One tip I think is particularly helpful is using a longer focal length in such conditions. With a wide angle lens, the fog can rob the landscape of a lot of its grandeur and make it a bit difficult to read the frame. On the other hand, using a longer focal length allows you to pick off a single interesting element in the scene and show off its interaction with the fog, giving it an air of drama and mystery and encouraging the viewer's eye to linger and their imagination to fill in the missing elements.
Check out the video above for the full rundown from Browne.
