I was thinking it has a snow mode, not sure. Thanks for sharing your snow.

Snow is interesting to shoot for several reasons. I might actually do a tutorial on it in a couple of weeks. It is not so much your aperture that makes the change, as you need to keep the depth of field that you want in the shot. What makes the difference is opening the exposure up either with the shutter or just the exposure compensation feature. You want to meter on the snow itself and assign it a value somewhere between +1.0 and +2.0 depending on how much detail you want to show. I usually go for +1.7 when I'm shooting snow when metered from a well lit patch. This keeps it from blowing out, but will also keep it from rendering gray.<br><br>Your blue cast that you are seeing is from the color temperature of the scene. This needs to be corrected for the shot to retain the proper balance. The best thing to do is to adjust the White Balance to "Cloudy" which will warm the scene up. If that doesn't work, you can use an 81A warming filter, but don't go any more than the "A" because you will lose the white and have orange snow.<br><br>GregAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19045894.post-58571985857965505262007-12-06T09:34:00.000-05:002007-12-06T09:34:00.000-05:00Very nice, we got a flurry yesterday, but nothing ...Very nice, we got a flurry yesterday, but nothing stuck as is the norm around here.
