Re: Anybody tried a Double Fog filter?
Another thing that i found is from all the simulated samples i have seen, they all look unatural to me. I tried myself to recreate the fog effect in Photoshop and even if i am very good in Photoshop and know all the techniques, i spent long time trying to tweek this and i am not happy with the result:

It is also difficult to creat a mood with postprocessing as you don't knwo much what color to use and if you use white it is putting the picture too white. The fog filter will keep the natural color of the environment and will not wash out the color as much as a postprocessing do.
Anyway my original post was for asking if anyone had tried it and if so if they liked it or not. So far none of the people that using the postproccessing technic have actually tried the filter and so they cannot give a fair opinion of the filter.

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.

Here is a sample from Tiffen page...you can already see the
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:
