Surrounded by SNOW!
Having taken my photography classes in the desert, I was taught to overexpose 2-stops to keep from having the snow come out ‘middle gray’. So I’ve been teaching that tip for a while now. Joke’s on me! Today I am in a total whiteout (and no I am not at a Coyotes game)…snow falling, ground is covered, even the sky is white. The generic rule wasn’t exactly working and I was changing dials for each shot. My hands were frozen, but pictures were everywhere!!
At the moment I’m thawing out with space heater and blanket, and can’t wait to get back out there. Hopefully I can shoot a bit faster this time.
Here are some things I realized:
1. all rules are meant to be broken
2. bracket, bracket, bracket saves time changing settings with bare hands
3. continuous shoot mode is a good thing
4. change the camera settings before you go outside!!
And one thing I already knew: cell phone photo quality really sucks! ie, the above photo
Stay Warm!
