When visibility is reduced to less than an 1/8 of a mile during your morning trek to work, fog may not rank high on your list of likes, however for a photographer, fog can come in handy. Think of that heavy pea soup thick mist as natures own soft focus filter. Depending on the subject, the effect can be dreamy or eerie. No need to worry about shooting with a wide aperture setting to minimize a busy background - the fog will take care of it for you. And of you are a fan of monochromatic imagery, once again fog is there to help - muting colors without changing a single camera setting. A misty morning can provide special effects without the use of filters or post processing manipulation - take advantage of it!
