Better with Fog

12/29/2018

One of my favorite weather conditions when doing landscape photography has got to be fog.  Fog or mist is something we get quite a lot of here in the Pacific Northwest and it has a way of making an ordinary scene special. Fog can make an ordinary park look like a scene from a fairytale, add depth to a stand of trees, obscure unwanted distractions and simplify compositions. Below are some examples of photos made better or even possible with the presence of fog or mist.

Fog has turned this park into scene you might find in a movie. beyond the trees is a parking area and camp ground.

The fog helps isolate a single tree by obscuring a distracting background.

Mist moving across a hillside of trees in the Cascade Mountains adds drama and an abstract nature to the image.

Driving by this tree in a field every day on my way to work I never considered stopping for a photo until the scene was transformed by an early morning mist.

The fog brings a layered effect and an abstract nature to a hillside of trees just outside the town of Lebanon, Oregon.

Mist moving over what looks like a pretty ordinary pond in my home town, transforms it into a mysterious place.

It doesn't have take a lot of mist to add drama to a scene such as in this photo of Lost Lake, the image wouldn't have near the impact without the atmosphere the mist drifting into the frame brings.
