can anyonbe give some advice please on what sort of settings to use when shooting in fog, both in the evening and morning (Preferably evening).

last few nights been getting lots of foggy evenings but everytime i take a shoot ti all turns out orangey, i'm guessing because of the street lights!

examples too would be appreciated. :D

almost forgot, i only have canon 450D with the 18-55mm lens and the cheap Nifty fifty.
 
In proper fog it is best to use wideangle lenses (as it is hard to see further down), overexpose by 2/3 EV or more, use tripod if needed with low ISO, and process to get good contrast, maybe do BW conversion.
 
hmmm BW conversion interesting. thanks for that bit of tip so obvious yet didnt even think of it. it does make the pict look abit better
 
The orange is caused by the white balance, you therefore need to do a custom white balance and it should look better.

Try custom or shoot raw and adjust when you edit.

I also find in fog that you should always shoot as wide as possible, as soon as you start using long focal lengths greater than 50mm things start looking :thumbsdown:
