Hi Kenton, For the pic in question, I think the first you can look at is the curves tool. Try to bump the highlights up a notch. You could also play around with the white balance. Snow can easily take on a off-white hue if the WB is too high. When you tweak it down, though, you got to watch the shaded areas that will pick up a lot of blue from cloudless skies.
For snow shooting in general, I always let the camera meter the scene directly rather than off something else. If in doubt whether the camera will handle the light conditions, I check the histogram and look for how the highlights are distributed. With snow, you can expect to get a nice little mound on the histogram off to the right. To make the snow appear truly white, that mound in the histogram should be as far off to the right as you can place it before it begins to stack up like an overexposure. hth, Jostein 2010/12/13 Kenton Brede <kbr...@gmail.com>: > I was wondering if someone could give me a critique on this photo? > Any tips on taking pictures of snow, where the now is rendered *white* > would be appreciated. :) > > http://aphotoaday.sandhillsnaps.org/2010/12/12/day-paper-snow/ > > Thanks, > Kent > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. > -- http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ http://alunfoto.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
