How to shoot snow

Photographing snow is quite hard, cold and snow season, people and equipment are a severe test. Previously filmed at low temperatures, most with a traditional camera purely mechanical of photographic equipment, because they are in a cold environment, without power supply may be photographed, but now many people use a digital camera, camera battery power consumption in the cold, and in a more obvious didn't shoot snow is quite hard, cold and snow season, people and equipment are a severe test. Previously filmed at low temperatures, most with a traditional camera purely mechanical of photographic equipment, because they are in a cold environment, without power supply may be photographed, but now many people use a digital camera, camera battery power consumption in the cold, and in a more obvious no electricity, and high-end digital cameras can do. Therefore use the camera to the camera than using traditional snow even more power to be prepared and the note on the equipment. In addition, when photographing snow can make the most of the following six best: 1. with respect to the metering and exposure. Photographing snow, metering and exposure is important, overexposed film snow white portion of a piece of dead white, no hierarchy; the underexposed film, snow section partial ash, lack of adequate luminosity, other things are often too Dim, only accurate exposure films have richer hierarchy. Many articles have pointed out: when photographing snow you want to increase exposure. In fact, this is not a "one size fits all", according to the specific circumstances of the case, if the screen is only not much snow, the overall contrast compared to the normal screen, you should follow the average metering to normal exposure without adjustment. Figure 1 the Dragon Wall of snow ", as the screen there is a high brightness of snow, also has relatively deep dark, overall brightness General, in accordance with the normal shot, with a rich levels; because snow is overwritten in the object plane, if you are from a higher perspective to pitching perturbation, screen, a piece of white snow, only a small number of other things you need to increase the exposure of a block or so; if the picture on the overall feeling of snow on the high side, slightly brighter than average scene, just a half block or so increased exposure. Especially when shooting color reverse picture or use the camera when it is necessary to pay attention to, because as long as the exposure of accurate exposure error reaches more than half a block, it will significantly impact image quality. Digital camera image as underexposed, quality will also be affected (although late free image processing software dressing, but adds unnecessary trouble and quality as good as the original image). 2. takes note of the prospects and vision of the Union. Experienced photographers shooting ice class theme, often in the viewfinder will consciously choose some close-range, because the ice and snow has a special sense, these glittering and translucent texture only through close-range in order to demonstrate its charm, if screen all vision, often gives people the feeling of monotony. In shooting-range, if possible, zhongjin and vision, to create two roles: first, to increase the sense of the depth of the screen, photographs of the medieval building snow 2 "color comparison monotone, close-range and vision of the cross as a foil to the snow formation of lines and the performance of the area adequately. Second, with close-range, conducive to performance and snow texture, from two drawings, you can see, relative to the body imaging, to a certain extent showing details of ice, if in the reasonable viewfinder, then a combination side light or side backlight effect will be more ideal,. 3. take the snow essays. Sometimes because of snow fell enough or because the shooting location is not ideal, shooting some snow essays are also very good. If the photograph trees in snow, is a good approach, due to the accumulation of snow, the contours of the trees can be outlined dramatic lines. But when the shot is the best choice for backlighting while taking advantage of some of the other dark backgrounds, the line so that the trees is clear. Figure 3 the "snow garden" shot in Shanghai, the famous classical gardens Yu Garden, because Shanghai temperature is high, snow in the Sun will soon begin to melt, only through the essays to snow. Due to the environment temperature, wind direction and other reasons, some small snow melts within time relatively slow, you need to select a local photographers have screen vision lost no time in taking some essays. As we usually see snow settle Hongmei, snow in chrysanthemum, snow in the color red, and so on, as long as beautiful, light and shadow effects, the snow Crystal, particle sensor behave similarly nuanced, can take out beautiful works, such as photographs 4 the snow hongguo ". Today's digital cameras are very powerful photographic capabilities, such as shooting macro essays etc provides more opportunity to take full advantage of these features. 4. timing of shooting. China's vast, South over the Golden next snow, while the North is down several snow, on the North, photographers, photographing snow a lot of opportunities, because Northern snow can continue for a long time, even in the Northeast region has several months for a spell, take the opportunity to more.
