How Canon SLR Camera Shoots Snow Scene

Lighting skills for shooting snow scenes: Snow scenes are highly reflective, so when shooting a large area of snow scenes, using polarizers or color filters can reduce the reflected light, give the camera more operating space such as shutter and aperture, and at the same time improve the color saturation, making the blue sky and white clouds more prominent.

Exposure skills for shooting snow scenes: Due to the strong reflective characteristics of snow scenes, if the light is directly measured against the snow scenes, the photos taken will be underexposed and dark, and the exposure will be automatically reduced because the scene is too exposed, so follow the principle of "white plus black minus" and pay attention to manually increasing the EV value of 1-2.

Focus and shutter skills in shooting snow scenes: If you want to shoot the effect of falling snow, the scene of falling snow will not be effective if it is not heavy snow. If there is really heavy snow, you need to focus accurately. You can use a tripod to capture by focusing on the lock.

Extended data:

As for why exposure should be added to the snow scene, the characteristic of snow is that it will produce specular reflection after being tiled on the ground, resulting in the characteristics of snow surface: high brightness, small contrast, high reflectivity, lack of layering and single tone. The part with snow in the scene is very bright, and the part without snow is very dark, which makes the contrast between the parts great.

Most digital cameras get their own photometric values through the reflection of the scene, so if they directly measure the light against the snow scene, the photos taken will be darker, and then exposure compensation must be carried out to obtain normal exposure.
