He mentioned using f/2.8 and focusing on the tent which was about 40 feet away. He said at that distance, everything falls into focus (meaning everything up to infinity that is beyond the focus point). I use Simple Depth of Field which is a phone app. I plugged in a Nikon DX body along with f/2.8, a 14mm lens, and focusing at a distance of 40 feet. Below is a screen shot that shows you the info. So my suggestion is to use the widest lens available at the widest aperture, and focus on something closer to the ground that's 40 to 50 feet away. Once you have achieved focus, flip the switch on your lens or body to manual focus so the focus point won't change. Then take your shots. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Be SURE to flip your switch back to AF when you are finished. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> I'm saying that because I've *Been there, done that* and regretted not noticing I was still in manual focus. :shame: Nothing like losing the chance to take a great shot if you don't remember to switch back.If you let me know the widest lens you own along with its widest aperture, I can plug in some values to my app and find a distance where everything falls into infinity. Then I can take a screen shot showing you the info based on your gear. Hopefully that will allow you to take pics even when it's foggy.[ATTACH=full]327859[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
