If you have been thinking about getting into photography, the good news is that you do not need loads of expensive gear or years of experience to start. Photography can be as simple as noticing good light, taking your phone or camera out for a walk, and having a go. The more you practice, the more you begin to see interesting little moments everywhere.

Have you ever arrived at a familiar spot and found it completely transformed by fog? The same road, lake or stand of trees suddenly feels quieter, stranger and far more cinematic. That is the magic of mist: it hides just enough detail to make a scene feel mysterious, while leaving you with shapes, light and mood to play with. The trick is knowing how to work with that softness instead of fighting it.
