Re: Anybody tried a Double Fog filter?
i could only found the double fog 3...wich i could find the 5 but i could not find it anywhere.
I receive mine yesterday so i will try it when i have the chance. You have to wait for an overcast day to use them, as foggy scenes don't match with crisp shadow produced by the sunlight, so cloudy or overcast days work best.
Also this should be really nice in scene near the ocean, when you want to amphasis the existing fog. I remember i had a scene with fog and it was really nice to see this with my eye but i was desapointed with the 35mm SLR film shot because i could not see much fog in the photo. I never tried to take real fog so far with my digital camera and if this happen i will use the double fog to enhance the effect of the regular fog.
Also it should be nice to use it in the wood...well, so much to experiment with!

Hi Daniella,
Checked and found the number... dbl fog 4. It is still not too
strong. Took a few pics this weekend with it, but nothing worth
posting yet.

Update.. I was at local camera store helping a friend pick out
some filters yesterday and the shop had a dbl fog Tiffen that had
been in the store for a long time. Got a great deal also! Will try
it out this weekend. Enjoy!

Hi Mike,
Yes i will surely take tons of them when i'll get the filter. I
just love fog photos.

think.

Daniella3d,
I have been interested in this filter also. If you get one, please
post a pic to share with us.
I've read all the posts. Not surprised it turned to kind of debate.
Obviously, one must balance between what one can do with a filter
and in software. I've thought of purchasing this filter so I could
see the effect I want through the LCD immediately, rather than
fidgeting in software later. As filters go, I have UV, polarizer,
and star. I would like to also soon purchase a ND filter to lower
shutter speeds, a grey graduated filter to make sky darker without
affecting landscape beneath, and perhaps the dbl fog filter! I
spend enough time post processing my pics already. It's nice to let
filters do some of the work!

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.
This is interesting as the usual fog filter is making everything
foggy, foreground or background the same.
I was wondering if anyone tried the double fog filter and if so, is
it possible to see some samples?
thanks
