White Balance Setting for Foggy Days

What white balance settings do you use for shooting in a foggy day?

Thanks,

I've shot in all sorts of conditions, including fog and have found the auto-white balance on my Canon cameras to be the best setting. In 4 years I only changed the white balance setting on one image, and that was to change it from the "correct" exposure to a more artsy look. The best thing to do is shoot in RAW with auto-white balance on and then in the camera software on your computer change the white balance settings to all the different presets, and then do custom settings and see which setting you prefer.

The auto WB on my D300 is also elent. I sometimes bracket the WB settings and find the center one (the one the camera auto chooses) to be right on.

I too find that I am always shooting Auto White Balance, RAW, with my Canon 5d’s. Time and time again it seems to be pretty close to what I like.

For me, Auto White Balance works great in the fog, but I do find that my Sing-Ray warming polarizer can sometimes make the white fog look a bit muddy.

Sorry to go of topic.

If you are not liking the results, it might not be white balance. A "perfectly" middle exposure might turn dense white fog gray if metered off the fog, so consider over exposing by 1 stop also (kinda like you might do for snow)

AWB using RAW files.
Then 'fix' to taste in postprocess. No better way to go, IMO.

Marylynne makes a valid point. Be sure to use your histogram to avoid underexposure.

Thank you all for your responses. You guys are great!

Thanks,
