Step 1
Let's start! Create new file (File > New...). Set size 1828x1332px.

Step 2
Place "Forest" stock to your file. Drag it from the folder and drop it in the middle of the picture.

Step 3
Now, you will change time from day to night. Add new adjustment layer (Layer > New Adjustment layer > ... or marked shortcut) with Brightness/Contrast.

Step 4
Place "Smoke stock 20". Transform it as is shown.

Step 5
Add new Adjustment layer with "Invert" (Layer > New Adjustment layer > ... or marked shortcut). Click on created layer with right mouse button, then choose "Create clipping mask".

Step 6
Back to "Smoke stock 20". Change blending mode of this layer to Multiply. Darker parts will be visable, lighter will be removed.
