Since few if any members do their own darkroom processing these days, this project is primarily for those using digital techniques. This is a great opportunity to experiment with Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. There is no single best way.
For example, you can drag a separate photo of pure fog onto a new layer on top of your original image, Then adjust opacity to suit.
Or, you can superimpose a combination of Fill layers on top of your original image, perhaps using a blue-gray solid fill layer and a dark-to-transparent gradient layer (Fill layers can be found under the Layers menu). Remember to slide the opacity way down. You can even paint into the layer masks of these Fill layers with a light grey brush so that background elements will show through. Or add another layer of clouds with Filter>Render>Clouds, again substantially reducing opacity and adjusting color to suit.
There are many different possibilities. Use your imagination and play with Photoshop's tools.
Film photographers may find it best to superimpose negatives (one of which is a separate image of pure fog or mist) or to use double exposures in the enlarger.
