If the fog is not intense, late mornings and early evenings are good times for fog-photography. Also, surface of water has a particular kind of fog that is good for photography. When street lights are on and there is fog, then streaks of light become the subject of photography.
The haze due to fog scatters light to make subjects dim, therefore fog-photography requires longer exposure time and aperture with emphasis on depth. With this tip, take a lot of photos with a digital camera to select the best shots and delete the bad ones.
Moreover, the camera should be kept steady because of the required longer time. Since shutter has to remain open for a longer duration, chances of shake are more. Also, wipe the camera with the soft lens cleaning cloth or tissue paper before taking every shot since fog tries to condense on the lens to wash-out the picture.
