Is there a trick to snow photography?

First, pay attention to the contrast of background. Snow is characterized by strong reflection and high brightness. If you simply shoot a piece of white land, you will often feel dazzling and can't see anything clearly. So we'd better choose a darker background when shooting, which will make the snow and dark scenery form a strong contrast between light and shade and make the whole picture more layered. If the brightness of the selected background is also high, it will make the viewer's eyes uncomfortable. Second, it is also important to choose the right prospect. Because of the particularity of snow scene, using branches, flowers, buildings covered with ice or thick snow as the foreground of shooting can increase the depth of space, improve the expressive force of snow scene and enrich the connotation of the whole picture, so as not to make viewers feel bored because of white. Third, pay attention to the adjustment of white balance. Although the snow scenes are all white, with the change of time and surrounding scenery, white snow will appear different colors. Therefore, when shooting different snow scenes, we should also pay attention to adjusting the white balance of digital cameras at any time. In the snow, the influence of the surrounding special environment often makes the automatic white balance function of the digital camera inaccurate, and the accuracy of manual adjustment is better than that of automatic adjustment. Therefore, it is best to adjust the white balance of the digital camera through manual function at this time, so that the color of the photos taken can be restored correctly and truly. Fourth, backlight and sidelight snow are white crystals. When it is scattered or piled up on the scene, the objects with different shades in the scene are covered by it and become white objects. Therefore, the snow scene is a scene with more white parts, which can give people a lovely feeling of white. It is precisely because the white part of the snow scene occupies a larger area and is brighter than other scenery, and it is brighter when there is sunlight. Snow is a transparent crystal, and its texture can be clearly displayed only in a far place. Therefore, in order to show the light and dark level of the snow scene and the transparent texture of the snow particles near it, it is most appropriate to shoot the snow scene with backlight or backlight. This can better show the bright and dark levels and transparent texture of the scene to be shot, and the tone of the whole picture will be varied. V. Manual adjustment of exposure Because snow scenes reflect a lot of sunlight, correct adjustment of exposure is the key to shooting snow scenes. In the snowy environment, according to the automatic exposure of digital cameras, there are usually some underexposures. This is because in the snow scene, the strong reflected light often makes the difference between the photometric results 1 ~ 2 exposure, so we generally need to use the manual exposure function of the digital camera to make necessary adjustments, so as to ensure that the photographed snow scene exposure is more accurate and true! Seven, other skills If you need to shoot a snowflake flying all over the sky, then you have to choose a deeper background to avoid background interference. At the same time, the shutter speed should not be too high, generally around1125 seconds, so that the flying snowflakes form lines and show the movement of snowflakes. People in the snow scene need appropriate auxiliary light. Because snow will appear very bright as the background, adding auxiliary light can highlight the main body, and at the same time, the camera should be covered with a hood to avoid interference from other light. Polarizers also play a great role in shooting snow scenes, which can reduce the brightness of polarized light reflected by snow, make blue sky and white clouds more prominent and improve color saturation.
