Four Skills of Shooting Snow Scenes

Winter is about to pass. As a photographer, the snow scene in winter is a rare shooting subject, so how can we accurately show the beauty of the white earth? The following are my beautiful lens skills to share the snow scene.

1, exposure

Although the snow scene is beautiful, it is also obvious to our camera. A large area of snow will bring many reflections and make the whole shooting scene very bright. However, if you still rely on the camera's automatic mode at this time, the camera will think that you want the details of the scene rather than the magnificent silvery white world. As a result, you took a seriously underexposed photo. The solution to this problem is simple. You only need to use manual mode, and then make sure that you are slightly overexposed when shooting. Or find the best exposure setting by constantly trying to shoot.

2. Focus

In the process of exposure, the choice of focus is also very important. We need to focus on where the brightness of the scene is relatively balanced to determine the exposure. For example, a tree, or the blue sky, even your own hands are suitable. The main reason for this situation is that our cameras usually try to brighten the dark part and darken the highlight area, and the highlight area is the main part in the ice and snow scene. By focusing on some objects with balanced light and dark and no reflection, the camera can have the opportunity to ignore the highlights in the picture, and we can find the body settings we need.

3. Take more photos

If you want to make sure to take perfect photos, I suggest you choose the enclosed exposure mode, or take more photos of the same scene with different exposures. Although it will inevitably take up some space on your memory card, it is worthwhile to do so. It only takes a few seconds to change the body settings, and you can also save photos. Why not?

Step 4 shoot in RAW format

It is of great value to use RAW format files with more post-processing space to shoot snow scenes. With RAW files, you can make more detailed adjustments to photos in photoshop or lightroom. If the early stage is not perfect, then RAW is your last level, which can help you save the works that are on the verge of failure to some extent. However, raw food is not everything. We still have to ensure that the photos in the early stage have a certain quality, and we can't come back to life in the later stage.
