Techniques of shooting in foggy days How to shoot in foggy days?

1, reasonably control the exposure. In the fog, the whole world is white. The automatic metering system of the camera is easily disturbed by the environment. When shooting fog scenes, the accuracy of exposure is a crucial issue. Generally, fog scenes are dominated by light gray and white tones, and only a little content is dark tones. Therefore, the exposure should be appropriately increased or decreased according to the specific shooting conditions when shooting foggy scenes. Usually, the value of 0.5- 1EV is appropriate, and if the light is measured normally, there will sometimes be underexposure. If you need to process the picture into a highlight effect, you can increase the exposure compensation of 1-2EV, but be careful not to make the highlight too violent. This technique is suitable for expressing elegant and soft artistic conception; If the exposure compensation is reduced, it is suitable to show the thickness effect, and it is set as needed.

2. Seize the favorable opportunity of light. Thick 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. Shooting night scenes in foggy days is often very effective, especially when it is just dark and the sky is not completely dark.

3. Understand the significance of blank space in fog shooting. Photography needs reasonable subtraction in many occasions, and the application of blank space technology is one of the concrete manifestations of subtraction, especially in foggy shooting. Blank, that is, some blank parts on the photographic screen except visible solid objects, are composed of a single-tone background, forming gaps between solid objects. Monotone background can be fog, sky, water, grassland, land or other scenery. Due to the use of various photographic means, they lost their original objects and formed a single color tone on the screen to set off other objects.
