What is fog?

Fog is a visible aerosol consisting of tiny water droplets suspended in the air.

  • Fog shows up when water vapor, or water in its gaseous form, condenses.
  • Fog vs mist. Fog is not the same thing as mist. Fog is denser than mist. However, both mist and fog reduce visibility.
  • Fog is more likely to form near the surface of water, often near creeks, river valleys as the water increases the humidity in the air.
  • Fog usually forms in the late evening, and often lasts until the next morning

Fog Photography

Photographing in the fog, mist or haze is very different from photography in clear weather.

The scenes are blurry and the details are no longer clear. The color saturation and the contrast are also reduced.

Fog images have a moody and atmospheric feel, they are beautiful and mysterious.

In Photoshop you can create all kind of photo effects, transforming your pictures completely.

So, how to create fog and mist to add drama to landscapes using Photoshop?
