Fog extreme at night

Unreal fog during our recent vacation at the baltic sea. I have a ton of similar pictures at night and day … wonder what you would do with the colors in this image?

He is my attempt in DT using the color calibration module’s auto picker to neutralise the colors.

That was fun. I’ve been playing with some mist photos lately and trying to get away from the contrast eq, and instead using D&S.
I still used contrast eq with this one as I needed to eke out a bit more haziness to my liking.
DT 5.0, Windows.
Color Balance negative value Chroma and highlights helped me a bit. Rotate and crop, highlight reconstruction, and just generally worked through the scene referred workflow from left to right.
Thanks for sharing!

Awesome, how did you de-saturate the highlights so gently?

Did I? I think it’s more the WB. The softness comes from the blooming module, which I use very often on themes like that.

I’ve tried the bloom module and the d&s preset one. Much prefer the module although I struggle with how it works some times!

Its funny when I noticed this playraw submission I had just watched a video about the new blender release…they have a glare node that looks amazing and has bloom and fog settings… it looks like it would be great for manipulating concert lights as well…
Demo here at about 13:50 of the video…

I had often used hlr in filmic to fade and bloom lights and extreme highlights …I guess I should explore other ways as well…
