What light should be used in foggy days?

In foggy days, backlight, side backlight or top light should be used for shooting.

The fog is very bright under the sunlight. In order to get accurate exposure, you need to use a small aperture and shoot at a faster speed. Don't worry about underexposure.

From the perspective of color photography, we should also understand another characteristic of fog. Because fog is composed of free water droplets, under the action of skylight, their color temperature is high, the color of the picture is blue, the red object will turn purple slightly, and * * will turn green slightly, and the color will change accordingly with different shades. Due to different spectra, warm colors (red, orange, etc. ) has stronger light transmittance than cool colors (blue, green, etc.). ) in the clouds and fog. You should take these factors into consideration when you decide the color tone. In short, the colors in the fog are very harmonious, which is the color beauty of the fog scene. In the soft cold gray tone, dotted with small pieces of warm color, hazy, its tone is very lyrical and intoxicating.

When shooting a foggy scene, we should pay attention to two points: if the aperture is too large, the picture will be too dull and lack the depth of the scene; Flash must not be used, it will illuminate countless small water droplets, leave a layer of white bottles on the picture, and make a good work useless.

When shooting a foggy scene, the picture is often too elegant and lacks strength. If close-ups of dark parts are added to the picture, it will make the picture appear far-reaching, strengthen the contrast between tone and shadow, make some scenes clear in the whole hazy environment, and produce artistic effects such as reality, hidden dew, deep light and dream.
