I shoot in fog on ocassion. . . the daytime fog and night-time fog vary and the results depend a great deal on the exposure setting you use--which in turn depends on the light permeating the fog. Problem is, light levels vary widely and must be considered anytime there is a change . . . and fog lit levels can change from minute to minute. I shoot in RAW to be safe and then I can tweak the f/stop a tad too. Bright fog (in daylight before the fog burns off) seems most challenging since the light source seems to come from everywhere at once. I cut down on the exposure which may make the subject a bit darker, but then I can convert the raw image into two images . . . one exposed for the lighting and the fog . . . the other exposed for the subject. After that, it's a simple matter of merging the two in layers during post editing. The isolation of overexposed white fog is extremely simple to do and eliminate . . . letting the well exposed fog appear. Hope this helps! :)

Same as other subjects. Use spot metering at foggy spot and use this exposure to capture whaever you wish.
