Answer for softwarezman,
How do you take a shot like that, "be there @ f8!"
That's a common answer from many pro senic and wild life photographers I have talked to and read interviews about. Get up early, be there at sunrise and go back for sunset and keep going back. Sometimes you have to get dirty or wet or in odd positions, the equipment doesn't have creativity you do. The more you use the equipment the better you will be.
Hope this helps,
Bill

I'd say a Singh Ray orange/strip filter could be a big help.

Wow! I'm gonna quit fotogrify right now! I can't imagine being as good as Fred Miranda - ever! I think I'll take up knitting and wear my finger down to the nubs wondering what woulda happened if I had never read all the goofy comments from these wannabes. I coulda been a contenda!!

Not just the fog, but the background and foreground colors came very nice. I think that the fog helps removing part of the busy foreground (grass and branches) and leaving just the top part of the tree and the background exposed nicely.

There is a fantastic cohesion in this beautiful image. The colors and shapes of the lonely tree, complementary or contrasting, against the shrubs in the foreground, or the conifers in the background. Some of the thicker, diagonal branches of the tree and the diagonal ridge in the mountain are in line. All bathing and cemented in a misty glow of fall.

This a beautiful shot but I assume that you used a ND filter of some sort which takes away the fogging effect or is it photoshop. To be frank the fog looks more like a dust cloud after a vehicle has passed.
