Mist filters<br />
Idea 2 monochrome<br />
Go greyscale<br />
Removing colour is another way to simplify<br />
compositions and add mood. Here, we used<br />
Adobe Camera Raw to create a greyscale<br />
conversion of the shot, also adding in a<br />
vignette to draw the eye into the frame.<br />
A square crop suited this symmetrical<br />
structure best.<br />
Filter used: Mist stripe and mist<br />
graduated<br />
Exposure: 1/8 sec, f/13, ISO100<br />
Edit: Exposure -0.45, Blacks -20,<br />
Contrast +18, Shadows -65<br />
Idea 3 timing it right<br />
Out at midday<br />
Morning light might be lovely and soft,<br />
but you can’t always get out first thing.<br />
Fog and mist can appear at any time of<br />
day, so don’t be afraid to use a filter in<br />
the middle of the day. Here, overcast<br />
light and a central composition creates<br />
an incredibly simple shot that’s calming<br />
to behold. We used a focal length of<br />
28mm to compress the scene. The<br />
final effect looks slightly surreal, but<br />
it still illustrates the effect well.<br />
Filter used: Mist stripe<br />
Exposure: 1/160 sec, f/14,<br />
ISO100<br />
Edit: Exposure +0.45, Highlights<br />
+38, Contrast +90, Shadows -78<br />
