In this week’s episode, we review how to edit foggy landscape photos in Lightroom. Atmosphere, whether it's fog or mist, has an amazing ability of transforming a flat and dull photograph into a dramatic work of art. But, unfortunately foggy conditions don't occur all the time - I often think to myself when I'm on-location that the scene I'm photographing would look much better if there was just a bit of fog rolling through. And, in this video I'll show you a great photo editing technique that will add a foggy misty quality to your photos. This is a great editing tip that's fun to experiment with on all landscape photos. I hope you enjoy this week's video and as always thanks so much for watching! - Mark D.

✅QUICK QUESTION: What are your favorite conditions to photograph?
Mornings right before sunrise - with mist/fog if conditions make it possible.
@@ddki9094 Me as well!
Hazy, misty, gloomy, moody scenes in the forest. Especially in the fall.
Depends on what I want to photograph. Early morning, before the crowd comes in when I'm doing city-scapes. Early morning or evening to do sunrise and sunsets. Mist and low clouds that make the scene moody. Light overcast with quite a bit of light to pop out colours.
Just make the best of the given conditions. Some are better than others, depending what you photograph.
Cold and foggy mornings.
Nice tips Mark. I usually create a radial filter and just increase the blacks, but this technique I think is more realistic and subtle. Just one consideration. I think that the elements closest to the camera should be with more contrast in order to to obtain a greater sensation of depth. Thanks for share!! Congrats for the video!!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
A while back my wife and I were at the same WV State Park and I stood all over in that same creek taking images of the same grist mill. I’ve attempted some post processing, but never really got something that pleased me. I can’t wait to go back to the files and try your technique! Great tutorial.
Just tried it on a eucalyptus forest scene I took this morning - and it worked! So something new to add to my skills. Many thanks, Mark! You’re a mine of information!
Love it!
Thanks for the step-by-step guide. These are really helpful. Thanks for another great video!
Happy to do it!
What a great time to be alive when you can learn stuff like this from a fantastic teacher like Mark and for FREE! This tip really does give the photo so much more atmosphere. PS I am watching this as real fog is rolling past my window haha.
Hahah! Glad you enjoyed it!
Mark - I LOVE that photo! Thx for another great lesson! That's a great technique to add fog in Post. In a photo class I took about a billion years ago, the instructor said that if there is no fog, but you would like to have some in a scene, blow on the lens, and snap multiple times, as the "fog" dissipates, and you will have captured the scene in various stages of fog. I've done it from time to time and have gotten some nice results. No one who has seen the photos could tell it was not real fog.
Perhaps my all time favorite of your videos. Thanks!
Many thanks Keith!
Great tutorial Mark. Thankyou for your clarity of communication, your enthusiasm and your time to share your experiences. It is really appreciated.
Best tip for atmospheric fog I've seen. Thank you for the guide and tutorial.
thank you Mark.. great as always and love that you spent the time to create a pdf of what you did.
I have an image of the sunrise from that grist mill, taken from under the bridge. Everyone that sees it really likes it. It's a great location!
Thank you for your continuing education of the masses and all the effort you put into your work and sharing it with us!
So inspiring Mark, and so generous of you to share, you're a great bloke 👍
Thank you for another helpful guide. I always come to your channel for my photography and editing inspiration.
This is something new and interesting to learn , cheers Mark
Great idea. I would probably take it another step and, with a large brush, reduce the effect on items closer to the foreground. The rocks and nearby foliage in the last picture would be good targets
Thanks David!
Thanks Mark! 🤗📸
Thanks for sharing-so altruistic !
Very nice tips, I really love it 🙂 Thanks a lot !
That photo already looks like a painting. Great work!
I get subtracting random parts of the fog, but I think you should also specifically lessen the fog wherever it's closer to the camera. It would be denser the further back the scene goes. Doing a pass like that on it would help immensely with realism. I thought you were going to when you talked about using the subtracting brush.
Great tip! Thanks Mark!
Glad you liked it!
Many thanks, Mark!
Happy to do it!
Gosh, this is great training! Thank you!
Glad you think so!
Great technique! I especially like this to reduce the background chaos in woodland scenes. I hadn't thought to add the black matte (tone curve) and brush subtraction refinements.
Always great information. I have been using a similar process for awhile because here in Missouri we don't get enough atmosphere or fog. I will try out the differences (mainly I do it in PS instead of LR because I use Capture One most of the time). I think I want to join you in the Smoky Mountains soon.
A great technique and, as always, well explained. Thanks very much, Mark.
Thanks so much!
Extremely helpful. Excellent content. Thanks.
Thanks Jack!
Mark.....correst--you hit this spot just right! How do you feel about letting folks know what you did to an image to enhance things like atmosphere etc. I'm all for using the tools we have these days and have fun making and processing images. My personal feeling is "go for it... but in the words of the great Galen Rowell..."Just say what you did
".JG
Thanks bunches. This is so helpful!
Thanks Nancy!
I'll definitely be trying this tip out! I may not remove the blacks as much, but I'll start with your suggestions and work from there, loved the video 🔥
Great to hear!
Mark, thank you so much for this amazing video. I hadn't thought about doing this. I'll for sure be using it now. Great video man!
Thanks Brandon!
Great tips. I have been experimenting with enhancing an already misty scene using the dehaze module in darktable but using a divide blend mode on the masks with some great minimalist style images. I guess LR must have a similar facility.
Thanks for the demo video.
Ohh pretty cool. I'll try it for sure
Fantastisk Mark !! -thank you so much - You are definitvely my Master in editing process with Lrc for landscape photography
Thanks Bruno!
This is a great instructional video. I'm not sure if I'll use it on my images, but it is very tempting. Living in the SF area, it is a little frustrating when I do get out, and the fog is nowhere to be found. I will be downloading the pdf; It is a great tool to have on hand. Thanks Mark!!
Always nice to see the grist mill at Babcock State Park! Thanks for coming to West Virginia!
Отличный урок! Я давно пытался понять, как правильно сделать этот лёгкий туман на заднем плане. Спасибо, Марк. Привет из России 🙂
Great technique!
Thank ya!
Wauw, that's cool. Thank you very much for this video❤
Glad to do it my friend!
About 6 years ago I finally got a shot like this of Mabry Mills, I’ll try this on it!! Badcock is a 5 hour drive and haven’t nailed it yet!
Mark,
I love photography, getting out and take photo. My biggest challenge and really what holding me back is photo editing. I get frustrated and unsure of myself in editing photo. I just can't depend on someone who is lot more experienced than I am. I need to do it myself. Like for example, I got a photo of Flamingo birds. There is one front, another in the back. So, I'm trying to mask the one in the back along with background but part of that mask is covering part of the main bird. I just don't understand how to subract the mask. Everything I tried, it gets worse. So I give up. I know it really simple, I'm sure. I know part of being a good photographer is to know how to edit the photo. The other challenge I have is the printer. I have Canon Pro 100 but I can't seems to figure the lightroom printing menu to ensure it is printing right.
Have tried a number of different ideas for foggy editing that I have seen online. Your idea is the best so far. A year ago I did a long hike over the moor's to get a sunset picture of a neolithic stone circle. Composition wise it is great, but the sunset died and the picture is a big fat raspberry. I feel that the fog effect helped a lot. I also added some lens blur. This all helped make the picture a lot better, but once a dog always a dog! I have a couple of pictures that your method will help a great deal. It was a bit unfair using this picture
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Thanks, Mark. I use a different program, Luminar Neo, and applied your technique to a photo. A little work around, but it still worked. Wow, my photo came out great.
Love to hear this!
Hey Mark, maybe a long shot but would you mind doing a video on how you scout an area out to photograph and composition tips?! And if you use any software like Photo Pills etc? Have a nice weekend.
Have you considered bringing the image into PS? Change the tone curve then and use a 'cloud' brush or irregular brush to randomly mask out the fog?
Mark, I have that exact shot I took there in 2008. That place is amazing. I like that technique in this video. I have a few pics in mind to try it on. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to do it Joe!
This was very intresting because after so many years working with older versions Lr and especially Ps, I wrote in to Adobe's Photographer plan and installed the newer Lr and Ps. The last couple of years I've been leaning more to Ps than Lr. But now, I feel to try Lr back again, before further editing in Ps. This was an inspiring video, Mark.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really nice trick
Thank ya!
@MarkDenneyPhoto I would love to see more of these types of videos using Capture One. Curious if any of these techniques can be recreated. As some of the tools you mention in Lightroom don't seem to have analogues counterparts in C1.
I can't believe you had Babcock all to yourself. I've been there twice, and there were at least 20 other people there both times. Luckyyy.
It was about 9 years ago before it became so popular.
Appreciate the tips Mark.. For the fall picture, I prefer the original.. For the waterfall, yes, the fog editing is good
Happy to do it!
Very useful video
Thank ya Andy!
Mark this is more gold. Can't wait to try it. I have a river photo that was very popular online last year. It was tree bent over like drowning itself in the river. I always wanted to print it but had poor results at home. This tweak for this river photo might be just great. Do you have a video about the 101's of effective printing. Like what to keep in mind. Where to send it for best results. I sent mine to CVS and it was not all that. Perhaps there is a pro service. I want to eventually buy a serious printer soon as I figure out what is best and what I need. thank you again. Tom
I live in an area where there is sometimes great morning fog. Unfortunately, I seldom have my camera when this happens. With this technique, I think I an create the fog effect. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for this really great recipe !!! Until now my fog never look such good and natural.
I wish you a nice day :-)
Love to hear this!
Certainly something to play with. Not sure I'd have applied it to those examples. I like the vibrancy of the originals, but that's me. Freebies are always welcome. Carry on. 👍🥂
Nice picture Mark. Beautiful place. What settings did you use, ? I mean shutter speed, aperture, and focus area. Thank you
I think on the Badcock shot some fog coming off water would look awesome. That would be a great tutorial!!!
Glad you enjoyed it Ken!
Wow! I have a whole bunch of photos that I shot last week that now require a revisit! (Sleep is for the weak, right?)
One of my favorite spots also during the fall. And I know exactly where you shot from..LOL. Did you happen to go further down stream to the swinging bridge?
Thanks Mark. A very good video. I do have a question. When dealing with the fog, things that appear to be more distant, should the fog look slightly more dense? The scene you worked on seems to have a more uniform distant plane. Could separate overlapping radial filters achieve this effect? Thanks again.
Im going to have to try that tonight. I was wondering however, in areas such as the trees on the left side on the first photo get a few more negative brush strokes than the rest since those trees are closer in the scene? That maintains the illusion of depth, right?
I seem to get results that please me most on cloudy days.
I have no favorite conditions to photograph but the outcomes are better in sunny days for me... probably the reason is because I'm still a beginner ... anyway I didn't know I could use filters to create a soft atmosphere similar mist after taking photo .... It's interesting, thank you ...
Happy to do it!
It's interesting that you used a linear gradient in the first but a radial in the second example as the first photo felt like there were lots of layers to the scenery where perhaps there'd be less fog on the greener trees framing the scene as opposed to the background where the fog would be naturally denser. In that example, I'd have probably applied a radial gradient to reflect the depth of the scene.
Just for demonstration purposes to show you can use both.
@@MarkDenneyPhoto It's a really good effect so I hope that comment didn't come across as critical as that wasn't my intention. Anything that adds atmosphere and a sense of direction through the scene is always going to be a win.
@@sjedouglas Oh no you're all good my friend👍
I think your wish for a longer GF telephoto lens is about to be announced on May 16th according to Fuji Rumors. And thanks for the pdf tutorial.
Yep - it sure is....and its HUGE!!
Glade Creek! Fog at Antietam, just the way it was the morning of the battle.
Hey Mark maybe OT but ... where is the location for the first imagine you edit ? the mill one I mean. I'm planning a foliage trip in low-east US this fall...
Glade Creek Grist Mill in Babcock State Park, WV
Do you edit out all the fishing lures stuck in the tree on the right? lol
LOL! I actually didn't see them while I was there - but I believe ya:)
I prefer the original photo. Just my opinion. Nice technique though !
Thank ya - glad you enjoyed it!
It is kind of an
Orton Effect
Yep kind of
Hey Mark the email never arrived, I tried with two different email providers
Send me your email address and I'll make sure it gets to you
weird. no offense, but I like both photos original form much better. You don't get to see all the vibrant fall colors or the nice greenery in the photos. just looks too soft for me
Too subtle
Yep you can turn it up to taste
