In this week’s episode, we take our foggy forest landscape photography journey to Bethania, North Carolina. This morning hike follows the Black Walnut Bottom Trail, which takes you through both a beautiful forest filled with you guessed it, Black Walnut trees, and a wide-open meadow which is the perfect playground for insects and birds! Photographing in fog is one of my favorite weather conditions. It can calm down a busy scene, invoke a feeling of calm or eerieness depending on the subject, and can really make an otherwise boring scene into something beautiful!
I am so grateful I had the flexibility to go in late to work so I could take advantage of the fog! Fog is beautiful any time of the year, but in late winter, I find fog even more beautiful as it gives a completely different feel than fog in the spring or summer. This is a trail I look forward to going back to over and over again!!

This looks like a perfect morning to get some great bird photos because it's quiet and birds are active.

It definitely would have been the perfect morning for bird photography. Hopefully, next time I will have more time to enjoy and take photos!

Absolutely love foggy mornings. I was able to capture a perfect foggy morning last November and came away with at least one image that I really liked.

They really are the best! I see a foggy morning and all I want to do is get outside and take pictures! Some of my favorite photos of all time were taken in foggy conditions!

Bethania is one of my favorite places to go locally (I'm in Yadkin). If you get a chance to check out the Old Richmond Law School or Rockford. They are two of my places to go when its foggy.

Oh cool! Thank you for the suggestions! I will have to check them out. Another place I want to go when it's foggy is the Little Walden Nature Trail in Clemmons. There are a couple old buildings I think would look great in the fog!

Excellent Acacia!!! Love the energy and enthusiasm, it is definitely contagious, so thank you for that👍🏻. My favorites are Reflection and The Forest Path📸. Question: In foggy or lowlight situations, do you use Exposure Compensation at all? As a novice, I can’t speak intelligently about it, but thought I’d ask your opinion. Thanks again Acacia!!!!

Thank you Barry! Great question. I shoot in manual mode, so I don't use the exposure compensation button. However, I did overexpose the images. I gage this by using the metering, the + or - scale on my camera display. I do tend to slightly overexpose in foggy and low light conditions. Of course there are always situations that call for a scene to be underexposed.
