Anybody tried a Double Fog filter?

hmm i did not feel like there was a battle going on..sorry if you felt that way.

To answer your post about you cannot remove the fog when you are using filter..well you can surely remove the filter and take the same shot without the filter as well. one shot with it and one shot without..instant with and without technique...no software needed

I just found that in some case you just cannot do this in photoshop or other software.

as example, lets say you have a tree in front and you wish the scene to look natural? You would then want to have the leaves of that tree more colorfull and cleared than what's in background..that's called distance cue i think.

Well i don,t know about you, but its not my idea of fun to spend hours trying to make the fog heavier in between each and everylittle leaves...or using the selection tool to try to isolate the background from foreground so i can make it in denser fog...

Most of my shots have tree in front or object closer so that's a problem in post processing. I am also a computer person and quite good with Photoshop...just don't want to spend days doing this

I will surely post photo taken with the double fog when i have it, so you can see the result and judge after that.

Getting a fogging effect WITHOUT blurring the characters would be
easy to do with LAYERS and MASKING. There are misting/fogging
filters out there that could help with the rest – or a mix of
opacity and blur. This type of thing is – in my opinion
– perfect use for post-picture taking. Therefore I state
categorically – of course this could be done in software! I
wouldn’t pay a dollar for that filter – it is far too
easily done in software. But that’s me – I was a
computer guy first – so I guess I’m more comfortable
with a software solution. Purists from analog cameras probably
prefer filters. What is definitely true is that a hybrid of both
is probably optimal – since no single solution will do
everything. I simply have not come across instances where the
software has not been able to realize my ultimate goal. I have
stated elsewhere that my C3000 lacks a decent zoom for instance,
and the same would apply to macro capability. So yeah, I can see a
new lens would help with that (though a new lens in this case
isn’t really a “filter”, is it?)

What if I want to use that image WITHOUT fog? If you used a filter
– you cannot. With something like Photoshop or Paint Shop
Pro – you could. That was my only point. As I stated before
– you seem to like the filters and have an aversion to
post-production software. And that’s okay! You seem to
think “digital darkrooms” (which they are often called)
is a limited field – it’s far from it – and
extend way beyond filters in re-interpreting and presenting
photographic art. But that’s just my opinion. To me every
picture I take is not only an image within itself but also material
for future work in software.

I’m not sure how I’m supposed to comment on the picture
you’ve posted. It’s nice – but it’s a
simple fog – so I can’t fathom the issue. As I said
– I’m getting out of this thread now. We could go on
like this for days. I’d rather stay friends

Here is a quick shot i just took with the Tiffen Fogalizer filter.
I paid only 12$ for this filter, but its not exactly what i am
looking for.
