Photography in the Mist

THERE IS SOMETHING PLEASING ABOUT MIST AND FOG THAT MAKES IT LOOK DREAMY IN YOUR PHOTOGRAPH. YOU CAN PHOTOGRAPH YOUR SUBJECTS IN A POETIC, ROMANTIC WAY OR MAKE THEM LOOK HAUNTED. CAPTURING SUBJECTS IN THE MIST CAN BE A CHALLENGING TASK AS MIST AND FOG MOVE CONTINUOUSLY, IT CAN FADE AWAY WITHIN A SECOND. THEY HAVE A MOMENTARY FEATURE THAT CAN CERTAINLY CAUSE FLAT, ORDINARY IMAGES. CAPTURING THEM FLAWLESSLY TAKES A LOT OF EXERCISE AND EXPERIMENTATION. MIST AND FOG ARE NOTHING BUT CLOUDS THAT ARE LESS DENSE THAN THE ONES YOU SEE IN THE SKY. YOU CAN DIFFER THEM IN TERMS OF THEIR DENSITY, LONGEVITY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THEIR VISIBILITY. AS WE KNOW MIST IS LESS DENSE THAN FOG, IT LASTS FOR A SHORTER PERIOD AND ALLOWS US TO SEE AS FAR AS 2KM. HOWEVER, IN THE FOG, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE AS FAR AS 1KM.

THE MAJESTIC GOLDEN HOUR

AS THE SUN RISES, A FRESH START BEGINS. NOTHING CAN BE MORE PEACEFUL THAN TO START YOUR DAY WITH A BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE AND END WITH THE SERENE VIEWS OF THE SUNSET. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF CAPTURING THIS IN YOUR FRAME? ‘GOLDEN HOUR’ IS A TIME JUST AFTER A SUNRISE OR BEFORE SUNSET, THROUGH WHICH DAYLIGHT IS REDDER AND SOFTER THAN THE HARSH SUNLIGHT.

IT IS A STATE OF NATURAL LIGHTING THAT COMMONLY TAKES PLACE AROUND THE NAUTICAL STAGE OF THE TWILIGHT PERIOD. WHILE THIS PHENOMENON MIGHT SEEM DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER THIS MIGHT BE ONE OF THE BEST NATURAL LIGHTING SETUPS THAT THEY CAN HOPE FOR.
