How to shoot the morning fog on the mountain peak

Lead: After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the best time to shoot fog in a year, which coincides with the National Day holiday. The morning fog in Huangshan and Emei has become the yearning of many photographers. How to shoot the morning fog of the mountain peak?

1, depending on the thickness of the fog, you can choose different shooting themes. Fog swats small pieces, and fog swats large pieces. Generally speaking, it is a good time to shoot when the fog clears and the depth alternates.

2, the color of the fog is relatively light, so it is best to choose some darker scenes in the picture to balance the picture and play the role of finishing touch.

3, shooting fog, mostly based on measuring backlight. You can photograph the texture and layers of fog.

4. Following the principle of "white plus black minus", the exposure of the camera can be increased appropriately.

5. Choose a good shooting time and location, and shoot when the fog is still there and the sun rises. Once the sun rises and the wind is strong, the fog not only dissipates quickly, but also has a large light ratio, which increases the difficulty of shooting. Half an hour before and after sunrise is the best shooting time. In the choice of location, you must climb high and look far, because some dense fog will condense in lower areas, such as the sea and valleys, so buildings, mountains and the like, and then you will show the works of "walking in the clouds".

6. Due to poor visibility, in order to have enough depth of field, a small aperture should be used. I usually set it at F8 or F 1 1. When there is fog, the light is generally bad and the shutter speed is slow. You must use a tripod as much as possible. At the same time, pay attention to the moisture on the lens, so as not to affect the clarity.

7. The fog is hazy, so the sense of space is not strong. We can increase the depth of the picture by increasing the foreground and highlighting the color and curve of the foreground.
