There is no cloud/sky detail to bring back and the over exposed part of the sky doesn't look bad either.

me too think so, as when i clicked this pic in kanyakumari it was bright sunlight in the noon.

Photography Project :Shooting Fog

I read this article and its very good
How to capture photos in foggy or misty conditions - Digital Photo Secrets

1. Need a tripod or u need to increase ISO cause its less light out due to fog
2. if you want foggy landscape dont shoot longer then 1 second exposure...if you want fog on water body of smooth fog then you can shoot longer exposures
3. Fog generally fools cameras metering system cause of reflective nature. better take a sample shot and increase the exposure compensation according to that.
4. Shoot RAW to play with white balance later on
5. Its advisable to have a subject in foreground to give depth in image.

amlan whats foggy about the 1st one ...2nd one is superb shot

Well during light fog the entire color of the place changes to the color of the lights. Here the purple lights make all the buildings appear purple as well.

[MENTION=8593]izzikio_rage[/MENTION] - The 2nd pic is awesome. I think I've seen it before.

Finally got my camera back repaired.

I've gotten hold of a intervoltmeter app for my cam and am trying to get some star trails or even a timelapse video. If anyone else is intersted in doing this I can start this off as a project. People with a canon cam can do the same using the CHDK firmware

 

[Siddhartht]

Hmm, well the projects thread seems to be dead ?

 

[izzikio_rage]

just needs someone to take the initiative ... that's the hardest part

Suggestions for this weekend?
