How to take a good photo of the snow scene?

1. Increase exposure compensation

Please adjust the exposure compensation to +0.3 or +0.7 when shooting in sunny winter or when you want to capture fresh Snow White. The camera doesn't know that you are shooting snow (technically, the camera can't see the color), so you must tell the camera that you are shooting something bright by adjusting the exposure. Otherwise, the snow will eventually look gray, not white.

2. Keep the battery warm

When exposed to low temperature, the battery will be exhausted. Hundreds of photos can be taken on a single charge, but at low temperature, the number of photos will be greatly reduced-less than 50-70% of the usual number. By keeping spare batteries warm, just put them in a pocket close to your body.

3. Pay attention to the foggy camera

Shooting at low temperatures can be challenging. As soon as you walk in, the camera will be foggy and covered with water vapor, which will cause a few minutes of pain waiting for it to return to normal (and you may miss a good opportunity). To avoid this, please cover the lens with the lens cover and put the camera in the bag before entering the warm room.

4. Provide comfortable gloves to fix the camera.

If shooting outdoors, most photo studios will sell special gloves, and there are thin and heat-resistant materials around the fingers, which can completely control the camera. There is also a special fabric on the palm of this glove to ensure a firm grip and save a lot of trouble and frostbite.

5. Pay attention to the red nose

Taking portraits in winter, because cute hats and gloves really help to take good photos. When catching a cold, the subject's cheeks will turn red and his nose will turn red. If your model has a red nose in all the shots, please don't panic. It's in the adobe house

Just adjust the saturation in Lightroom. Move the red and orange sliders with the same parameters slightly to the left (-10 or-15). Reducing the saturation of red and orange is helpful to relieve the discomfort of red nose.

6. Snowfall

Snowfall is one of the most beautiful things in photography. For the best shooting results, please use a telephoto lens-any lens with a focal length of 70 mm or more, preferably 200 mm, and shoot at a shallow depth of field (f/

4.5-6.3), select the fastest shutter speed (1/400 seconds or faster). Under this depth of field, we can capture the effect that snowflakes appear too big to focus in front of the camera lens, and the large and slightly blurred snowflakes in front of and behind the subject create a magical feeling.

7. Sunrise and sunset are the best time to shoot scenery.

In winter, sunrises and sunsets are more dramatic than usual, especially before and after snowstorms, so it is much easier to shoot them. Because the sun rises late and sets early in winter, landscape photographers can take a nap.

8. Protect equipment from snow.

If it snows outdoors for a long time, please consider buying protective covers to prevent snow and snow water from getting wet when taking pictures.

9. Keep warm

Last but not least, it is necessary to keep warm. Shooting outdoors can be challenging, so just dress warmly.
