How to take photos of snow with a mobile phone

1, shooting time

Don't think this is nonsense. Do you take it for granted that the shooting time I said is when it snows? At this time, you need to learn to think with the photographer's thinking: when will it be beneficial to shoot the light during the whole snow scene? When snow covers the earth, the cover will reflect light from many angles after being irradiated by the sun, so we should avoid the strong light of the sun and choose around sunrise or evening in sunny morning, when the light can better capture the texture and layers of snow.

Step 2 shoot along the light

Try not to follow the light, because you rarely see shadows when shooting along the light, and the effect will be very dull.

3. Backlight shooting

You can choose to shoot against the light to make the snow crystal clear. Backlight will give the ice and snow a shiny outline, and the texture of the ice and snow will be very prominent. In addition, if you shoot when snowflakes are falling, in addition to backlighting, if it is a dark background, the effect of snowflakes will be more prominent.

However, if you are shooting a portrait of a snow scene, it is best to avoid shooting against the light, because people's skin is too different from the exposure value of snow, which means that if you take care of people, the snow will overflow with highlights and look pale without layering; On the other hand, if you take care of snow, people will be underexposed and the color will be dark. Of course, if there is a reflector to fill the light for the characters, the effect of backlit portraits is still wonderful.

4. Side light shooting

Include forward light and backward light. Although winter feels soft but lacks details, in order to break the dullness, we can balance the light and shade of the white picture by using the shadows generated by the side light, and the modeling of the shadows can also increase the three-dimensional sense of the scene.
