Thanks for the input. I actually just added a yellowish tint to the post processing and it helped a little but I think doing it with the fog may work better. I like the idea of black plumes in the background. I was mainly in the northwest around Hadithah Dam. An Army Diver trying to find water. If I had known I’d be trying to recreate a scene from then I would have tried to take better pictures. I know what you’re talking about and we had t-barriers in Kuwait and at all the airports but what we mainly had was these giant boxes made out of metal mesh and and fabric on the inside. They just filled them with rocks and sand and they worked pretty well.
