What are the skills of SLR photography in snowy days?

1, the correct time. When will the whole snowy day be favorable for shooting light? 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 scattered light can better capture the texture and level of snow.

2. Practical equipment. The environment temperature for shooting snow scenes is low, so I suggest you consider bringing a professional and reliable SLR. In the choice of lens for shooting landscape works, telephoto and wide angle are the main methods. In addition, you often need to carry tripods, polarizers, hoods and other equipment.

The temperature should be below zero. Below "zero", this is the best temperature for taking close-ups of snowflake crystals. It's time for you to get ready and look for these little things in the dead of winter in the north. We can find many reasons about the formation of snowflake crystals from search engines such as Baidu and sogou, so I won't explain them in detail here. You just need to remember that shooting crystals requires a cold environment with no wind, high water vapor and a temperature below zero.

4. White balance of Snow Scene. Professional photographers will habitually check the white balance settings of the camera before shooting snow scenes. If your camera is still set to normal "automatic white balance" at this time, then you are miscalculated! The picture you get in this mode will be "full of blues"! If your camera doesn't have the function of manual white balance setting, or you can't set it skillfully manually, then you can directly choose the automatic white balance mode of "snow scene/cloudy day" at this time; If you are skilled in using your own camera, you can take a custom white balance picture of pure white snow according to different camera setting modes, so as to set the most correct white balance in your environment.

5. Measure by stages. There are often pictures of "snow is white" when shooting? Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your camera. The problem is that the "automatic exposure mode" it uses doesn't work! In this Gao Fancha scene, in order to reflect the dark part and the bright part, we can measure the light separately, and then combine them to get a more accurate exposure value.

6. "Background" comparison. When shooting on a snowy day, you will find that the foreground and background are white. At this time, in order to reflect the level of the picture, it is often necessary to add some jumping colors in the foreground or background to form a contrast.

7. Backlight and side backlight. When shooting, you can boldly use some backlights and side backlights to describe the scenery. Even if you shoot the distant view of the sky and the mountains on the ground, they can create a far-reaching atmosphere.

8. Avoid condensation. Photographic equipment is the darling of photographers. Because of the low temperature of snow shooting, when we take the camera from a cold place to a warmer place, it is easy to get wet condensation, which will temporarily disable the camera and make it impossible to shoot, so we should try our best to avoid this situation.

9. Give up the flash. When shooting snowflake crystal, we need to give up the method of turning on the flash to make the crystal more sensitive and textured, so as to prevent the snowflake from melting because the flash is too close to the tiny crystal.

10, and the prospect is suitable. In snow shooting, the choice of foreground is very important for photographers to create an atmosphere. Because of the particularity that snow scene is difficult to be layered, using branches hung with ice or roads, flowers and buildings covered with 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 the snow.

1 1, the generation of snowflake spots. When shooting snowflakes flying all over the sky, when the snowflakes are close to the lens and the focus area we choose is in the background area far behind the snowflakes, then you will take a photo of a cluster of Zhang Xuehua.

12, be careful of water vapor. It is best to carry a lens cloth with you and clean the camera at any time. Of course, you'd better wear a mask when shooting!
