Any good tutorials or tips for capturing nice whispy fog pics, mine usually just end up with the scene sans fog

I really need to replace my stolen Pentax (probably with a canno) it has been sooo long

What usually works for me:

- find a single interesting subject (usually a tree)

- get close (3-5 metres away), directly facing or from a lower ground upwards

- use wide to mid range lens, open the aperture wider than usual for landscapes for softer look (f4-6.3 instead of f8-11)

- let the fog do the rest, separating your subject from everything else

- try different approaches to the postproduction - maybe B&W or desaturated colors

If you only have longer lens that also works but you need to get a bit more distance from the subject. I have found that square crops with the subject directly in the middle, filling up most of the frame, works great.
