Photographing Rays of Light in Fog Using Off Camera Flash
I've posted a new video tutorial, Capturing Rays of Light in the Fog at Night using Off-Camera Flash
Off-camera flash to capture rays of light in fog, haze, or smoke is surprisingly easy. In this video, I explain how I photographed light beams on a dark, foggy night by photographed light through the branches of a tree using a single Profoto B1X monolight. Even so, any off-camera flash can be used to get the same type of results, even a speedlight.
Whether you're using a high-powered strobe or a speed light, I'd highly suggest using a tripod to stabilize your camera for this type of photography. While it's not necessary, it will undoubtedly come in handy and give you better results.

Umbrellas are fantastic light modifiers but if you want to soften the light that they produce you can do so by placing a diffuser on it. Umbrella diffusers give you a large, soft, light source that is highly portable that sets up quickly and easily. It basically, turns your umbrella into a softbox.
