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.
