What should I pay attention to when shooting snow scenes? Does Peng have the skill to shoot white objects?

It is better to shoot the snow scene on a sunny day after the snow, and it would be better if we could catch up with the morning light. In the sun, the use of side light and side backlight can best show the bright and dark level of snow scene and the transparent texture of snow particles, and the colors are also varied. Even a long-term vision can produce a far-reaching atmosphere. If you shoot people in the snow, you'd better add auxiliary light to your face and put a hood on the camera lens. If you use black-and-white film to shoot snow scenes, you should use dark yellow, orange yellow or yellow-green mirrors to lower the sky tone, reduce the brightness of snow and make the scene tone soft. If you take a snow scene with a color film, it is best to use a polarizer to absorb the polarized light of the snow, reduce the brightness, adjust the color tone, make the blue sky and white clouds stand out and improve the color saturation.

Correct metering and exposure are the key to success in taking snow photos. In a large area of snow scene, it is generally underexposed to use the in-camera metering system to measure light and shoot the snow scene according to the displayed data. This is because the exposure meter inside the camera is measured by a certain program, and the data it displays is the average illumination value of highlights, midtones and shadows in a comprehensive scene. This is feasible in most cases. However, in the snow scene, the strong reflected light often makes the photometric results differ by 1-2 exposure. In this case, exposure compensation can be used to appropriately increase the exposure of 1-2 level. You can also aim the camera at an object with a middle tone, take local close-range measurements, and adjust the camera to a "manual" position to take pictures according to the data measured at this time. It will be accurate for photographers who use the incident light exposure meter to measure the light according to the light beam on the object shining on the snow and take photos according to the exposure data obtained.

On snowy days, to take pictures of snowflakes flying, you should choose a dark background as a foil; The shutter speed should not be too high. Generally, it should be115 to1160 seconds, so that flying snowflakes can form lines and feel like falling snow. When shooting people in heavy snow, be careful not to let snowflakes get too close to the camera, so as not to let snowflakes block people's faces because of perspective.
