Photography in the Mist

THERE IS SOMETHING PLEASING ABOUT MIST AND FOG THAT MAKES IT LOOK DREAMY IN YOUR PHOTOGRAPH. YOU CAN PHOTOGRAPH YOUR SUBJECTS IN A POETIC, ROMANTIC WAY OR MAKE THEM LOOK HAUNTED. CAPTURING SUBJECTS IN THE MIST CAN BE A CHALLENGING TASK AS MIST AND FOG MOVE CONTINUOUSLY, IT CAN FADE AWAY WITHIN A SECOND. THEY HAVE A MOMENTARY FEATURE THAT CAN CERTAINLY CAUSE FLAT, ORDINARY IMAGES. CAPTURING THEM FLAWLESSLY TAKES A LOT OF EXERCISE AND EXPERIMENTATION. MIST AND FOG ARE NOTHING BUT CLOUDS THAT ARE LESS DENSE THAN THE ONES YOU SEE IN THE SKY. YOU CAN DIFFER THEM IN TERMS OF THEIR DENSITY, LONGEVITY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THEIR VISIBILITY. AS WE KNOW MIST IS LESS DENSE THAN FOG, IT LASTS FOR A SHORTER PERIOD AND ALLOWS US TO SEE AS FAR AS 2KM. HOWEVER, IN THE FOG, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE AS FAR AS 1KM.
