2.7. Fog at Night

At night, fog changes everything. You can forget about starry skies and the grandeur of the cosmos. The world closes in. Lines become blurred and painterly. Colors are more saturated. Fog operates like a giant diffuser.

In addition to these effects, which can cover an entire scene or affect only a portion of an image, fog tends to make things brighter. To a surprising extent, I find I end up with shorter exposure times when capturing a scene that is foggy overall at night.
