Photographing fog, steam and smoke can be challenging but rewarding. These elements add mood, mystery and drama to your images, but they also require careful exposure and composition. Here are some tips to help you capture fog, steam and smoke effectively.
Use a tripod. Fog, steam and smoke often appear in low-light situations, so you may need a slow shutter speed to get a good exposure. A tripod will help you avoid camera shake and blur.

Adjust your white balance. Fog, steam and smoke can affect the color temperature of your scene, making it look cooler or warmer than it really is. You can use a custom white balance setting or adjust it later in post-processing to get the right tone.
Choose your focus point carefully. Fog, steam and smoke can reduce contrast and detail in your scene, making it harder for your camera to autofocus. You may need to use manual focus or select a focus point that has enough contrast and sharpness.
Experiment with different angles and perspectives. Fog, steam and smoke can create interesting shapes and patterns in your scene, so try to move around and find different viewpoints. You can also use them to frame your subject or create a sense of depth and scale.
