Fuji X-Trans IV film recipe for misty and foggy weather
Of all the possible weathers, I love mist & fog the most. Whenever it is forecast, I’ll set an alarm and try and go out snapping. I wanted a recipe to capture the soft paleness of a misty day, with low saturation and flat contrast.
In trying this out, I was very pleased with the results, acheiving a pale, low contrast look with some birch trees and New Forest ponies. A bit of over exposing can help further fade out the background, and achieve an effective separation of foreground objects.
I’ve tried the recipe in some clear conditions too, and the effect is quite fun with a low saturation look. Although that’s not what I really made it for, I’ll continue to give it a try in a variety of situations.
