According to this website, because the fog reflects some light, it makes the light meter think that it needs a shorter exposure, but in reality, it needs a longer one. It's especially important to pay attention to this considering that we will be using film cameras, so I won't be able to see how the picture comes out right away.
I love this picture because it's exactly what I want to try and do (except with a person). If I want to get a silhouette, I should set the exposure based on the fog, not the subject.
I think that these tips will come in handy when I try this technique.

I really like the idea of taking silhouettes at night in fog. The West parking lot is like this early in the morning and late and night, and it's perfect because there are really bright spotlights that shine down, and it creates amazing shadows. At these times, you can get silhouettes of the subject as well as lots of shadows and highlights. It almost sparkles in some areas where there is a lot of light. I really would like to try this, so I looked up some techniques for taking photos in these conditions.
