Managing how your camera captures light often means taking opportunities that nature throws at you. One such opportunity is a hazy day. If you manage to get it when golden hour is happening some great things can happen with your photographs. We think this collection demonstrates nicely what can be done with a bit of haze.

Through the photos in this blog, I understand how haze can make a photo look different. Without it, the photo would just be another ordinary snapshot but the haze gave it a deeper and more mysterious appeal, which is usually difficult to obtain.
This blog is really helpful. It gave me more ideas on what I should do and when I should start taking photos.

Nice Pictures. I just wish there was more said about technique.
Thanks for the great photos, always an inspiration. Here is one I recently took on my commute home.
I greatly enjoyed the article and photos enclosed and I’ve often kept photos that others might have tossed, because the “haze” gives another emotional dimension to the piece.
Here’s one of mine…https://www.flickr.com/photos/tilde-lifestyle-photography/7623870166/in/photostream/

(The photo didn’t show up doing it the other way… apologies)
I could not find the Gimp reflection plug ins. the web says that have no permission…. where can I find it?
China is the home of haze. This shot in Shanghai container terminal.
I also have tried to photograph in the haze:

@Rich July 22nd. If the image is on Flickr, as many are, go to the Flickr image , click on it to get the bigger version of it. Click on Actions. Drop down menu offers ‘View Exif data’. Click on that to reveal all the camera settings. Provided of course that the creator of the image left them there to be uploaded ! Sometimes they get lost in post processing.
Here’s mine from an Oregon Beach near Florence, OR.

Here is my hazy picture of a giraffe. It was taken as the fog rolled in on an early morning game drive in South Africa on my honeymoon.
Sometimes we think “it’s foggy, nothing to shoot”, but the reality is there are some great pictures to be had if you try!
