Athmospheric light tutorials

Hello!
I wonder if there's some place to find tutorials to make pictures like this. With realistic looking haze - and not just a white film across the pic, and with godrays. I've never been really able to make godrays, especially not in bright pictures like that.

It creates great effects, and has a tutorial included. The rest is experiments and experience.
http://www.ageofarmour.com/3d/tutorials/AoA_atmospheric_cameras_help.html is the tutorial's link.
Since none of the renders state they are DS renders, it is also possible they were not rendered in DS.
Sickleyield has two products for producing GodRays

The last pop-up does show a working screen from DS, with the Atmospheric Effects camera and the composition of the promo shot.
While I also recommend the Atmospheric Effects cameras, UberVolume is another option (and it's free):
