In the design world, one type of sought after resource centers around that
misty natural special effect called fog or smoke. Look around and you will see numerous textures, brushes, and tutorials all focusing on capturing that vaporesque element in our work. So today we thought we might take this fascination one step further, and take it into the realm of inspiration.

From across the globe photographers have kept their engaging eyes on the skies, waiting to find those perfect moments to capture the fog pouring from the atmosphere and sweeping across the landscapes. Armed with various techniques and and styles, from Macro to HDR and beyond, they charge forward lenses at the ready.
