How to Photograph Foggy Landscapes: Focus on the Details
Summary
Inside the fog, you can use lenses with medium focal lengths or the lower telephoto lengths—roughly 35 to 120 mm. At the border between fog and fresh air, traces of sunlight can be found, and they can lead to an impressive photo. From a distance, the fog is like a rolling tide, so it pays to be patient and gradually choose the best parts of the briskly changing landscape. You may find yourself rocked to sleep by boring gray clouds and lifeless light on the landscape, but the trick is to ignore 95% of the scene and use your telephoto lens to pick out just one small detail where the fog/cloud meets the ground. Lots of people just plain don’t like fog, and I understand that, but it’s a fantastic way to enrich your photographic portfolio with dreamlike pictures.
