Really liked this article. This is one of the things where you notice it's just 'not right', but not why.

Sijmen,
This is Jacob, the author.

You're right! Atmospheric perspective is one of those subtle things you don't notice but it makes a *big* difference in the effectiveness of the final image. Now that you're familiar with the effect, I think that you'll start noticing atmospheric perspective everywhere: Games, movies, paintings, photos, and even those few rare times us game developers go outside!

Jacob, great article. Thanks for this.

For your readers who are interested in exploring this phenomenon, they may wish to familiarize themselves with Rayleigh scattering.

I recognize the first photo. That's in Hollywood. You are facing the intersection of Franklin and Highland boulevard. You must have stayed at the Hollywood and Highland Hotel .
