Who knows how to take pictures in foggy weather?

In winter, it is easy to have foggy weather. Fog breeds everything. Fog changes in various ways, hiding richness in simplicity, and can turn ordinary into wonderful beauty. Therefore, fog is an important theme in landscape photography. Taking photos in hazy foggy days can create a dreamy and even bizarre atmosphere and increase the sense of drama in photos.

Fog is made up of many tiny water droplets, which can reflect a lot of scattered light. The farther the distance, the more scattered light. The brighter you look, the less you can see the distant scenery. Therefore, the scenery under the fog can clearly distinguish the foreground, the middle scene and the distant view, and strengthen the sense of depth of the space; Moreover, fog can also give people a dreamy feeling, which can cover up the chaotic parts in many environments, make the theme more prominent and the picture more expressive. When shooting a foggy scene, we should pay attention to the following points: First, the whole world is white when it is foggy. The camera's automatic metering system is easily deceived by the environment. According to the environment at that time, the exposure 1-2 can be increased. Pay attention to check the histogram of the photo when shooting to ensure that the curve does not overflow. It is also convenient for later adjustment.

In the exposure setting, you can try to capture the movement of fog flow with a long shutter. You can also intentionally improve ISO, intentionally generate noise, and enhance the feeling of photos. Second, light and fog will cover all colors, shades and shapes, and the photos taken are easy to be gray. When shooting, you need to look for light that can pierce the dense fog and add drama to the picture. Sunlight in the early morning and street lamps in the evening are all excellent shooting subjects. Thirdly, the fog has the characteristics of gathering in lowlands. Might as well find a high point to shoot, have the opportunity to take a picture, and have the feeling of "walking on clouds". Fourth, the composition is foggy, and everything is covered with its original face. In composition, we should pay attention to shapes and lines, but ignore the true colors of things. Create more abstract pictures by combining lines and shapes. Pay attention to the depth of the picture with distance. Such as juxtaposed tree trunks, street lamps, telephone poles, etc.
