Mist

Steep rock face at Mount Pilatus, surrounded by dense fog.

Key tips

  1. In misty conditions, ensure a fast shutter speed to keep the fine textures of the rock sharp despite air movement.
  2. Pay attention to a shutter speed of 1/100 s to capture both the moving mist and the solid rock formations.
