Re: Anybody tried a Double Fog filter?

No i have not niticed that..where exactly do you see this? because what is written Simulated on the images, is NOT from Tiffen page but from some camera shop that have put up some example for fog filter in general.

Here is the photos from Tiffen.com

I have no idea where you can see simulation on these, but if you do you have very good eye!

I talked to Tiffen today and they will send me a catalogue, they said that the photo are scanned from their catalogue and its easier to see in their catalogue.

Did you notice that all the samples on the tiffen site have
"simulated image" on the bottom corner. That means that the
picture was NOT taken with the actual filter, but most likely
manually touched up by their people... most probably with a
photoshop like tool.

Note that a the double fog cannot possibly differentiate between
far and near objects, it most probably is a graduated filter that
requires you to compose the picture so that "far" objects are in
the darker areas.

difference between the fog filter and the double fog.

In the double fog, the cabin in the foreground is clear...which
look like REAL fog.

Also with fog filter the objects are still relatively sharp...the
fog filter mimic the real fog by having a special surface that
affect the light itself...so in lighter area you have a more
prononced effect..just like in real fog. This you cannot acheive
with post processing..if anyone can show me a good looking post
processing fog image, i am more than willing to consider that
choice..but so far none.

Hi,

I am looking to buy a tiffen double fog filter as i read that this
filter will create the same effect as in real fog, with forground
objects clearer than objects in the background.

Not sure about that.. but here is a sample:
