This shot (before and after editing) was taken at the top of a mountain in a cloud. I didn't have the ability to put a strobe out to the side so this was taken with a flash unit and a detachable mini soft box/defuser. I know that having the flash not collocated with the camera would have been better from what I have read but I don't have that equipment (yet).
So here is my question... when shooting in fog what can be done to reduce the haze while still exposing the fog in the trees and background. Would moving the light sources off axis with the camera have a major effect? In a couple shots the flash didn't cycle in time and the haze wasn't there. I would like to shoot this again when I have the equipment to do it right, but I would like to get a better idea of what that equipment is. Anyone have experience with shooting with flash in fog/clouds?
(The photo on the left is unedited, the photo on the right I bumped up the blacks in the RAW editor. Any other suggestions welcome as well.)
