A misty morning is one of the most magical times to head out with your camera. But if the conditions aren't right - or you want to enhance any existing mist - then it is possible to create your own. In our scene the mist is rolling in over the landscape, but the tree is clear. As such, this can be a good time to paint in a little more mist to enhance the atmosphere.
In visual terms, mist and fog are simply light, blurry patches ofair. This is easily recreated with Photoshop brush skills. But it can be tricky to match the shape of the mist, so we've supplied 10 mist brushes for you to use over your photos - download link on the left. Each creates a random mist effect. All you have to do is make a new layer, choose a mist brush and click around the image to add a random mist effect.
