We got about a foot of snow yesterday and I spent most of my day shoveling the driveway. Needless to say, when I was thinking about what to post for today's blog I had snow on my mind. So I figured, write something about shooting in the snow.
When you shoot in snowy, cold conditions there are a couple of things to remember. First, batteries drain very quickly in cold weather, so take extra batteries and keep them warm by carrying them in an inside pocket close to your body. The second thing to remember is that when your camera tries to read all that white it has a tendancy to underexpose. Bump up your exposure at least 1 stop. For this picture out my window I increased the exposure almost 1 1/2 stops. Play around with your camera and you'll figure out what works best for you.
You may also find that your LCD screen doesn't always work in very cold conditions.
Long underwear and a good pair of gloves ain't a bad idea either.
Keep shooting!
Ryan
