So you spend the time to pack the car, find snow gear in the right size for each one of your children, and you plan a trip up to the snow. It is only an hour drive, but it takes you three hours to get from point a (your house) to point b (the snow). You have invested some time in this trip, and you would love a great picture that will remind you of this effort, and the fun you had. So here are a few Anytime Art tips for you.
1. The snow is white and bright. This can be a huge problem in a few ways. You might have too much light coming into your camera, so in compensation, your camera may underexpose the subject. (so you get dark faces) How can you fix this? The two easiest ways to fix this is to either use your flash and fill in the faces of your subjects, or to change your compensation to +. Look at your settings on your camera for how to do it.
2. Snow play is usually a quick moving, action packed time, so it can help to have a quick shutter speed. If you don’t know how to change the shutter speed, look for the action mode on your camera.
Hope this helps, and that you find time to play in the beautiful local snow.
