How does real fog behave in a landscape?

It settles in low ground and burns off higher up, so it pools in valleys and around water while hilltops stay clear. Fog spread evenly across a scene at a uniform height is the most common mistake in a composite.

What makes fog look three-dimensional?

Objects at different distances being obscured by different amounts. A tree fifty metres away should be hazier than one ten metres away — that progressive loss of contrast is what turns a white overlay into actual atmosphere.
