I know nothing of photography and own a point and shoot camera that I use only on auto. A couple of years ago I started experimenting with taking photos through fog, mist, and smoke in order for the resulting image to seem more like a painting than a photograph. I took a series of shots in Scotland that captured what I wanted but I failed to preserve them in any real way so they are probably lost now. I don't often get the type of weather conditions required for what I want as Tasmania has amazingly clean air, but yesterday we had a bushfire in the highlands above me and I managed to get one shot at the right time for the shadows to be the way I wanted them.
I figured someone here may appreciate my efforts to make a photograph look like a cheap thrift store 1940's print of a mediocre painting.
