163/365: It’s A Snow White World!

Danbo gets to show Yotsuba what snow looks like:

162/365: It's A Snow White World!

We had some overnight snow this morning. Winter has finally arrived in our neck of the woods!

Shooting images in the snow is quite challenging; all that white stuff confuses the camera’s metering, underexposing the image and making everything darker that it actually is and turning that snow white colour into grey.

What I do to get that real white snow colour is to use the Spot Metering of my camera.

I would meter off something that is not white, say, Danbo’s skin colour. That would then over-expose the scene a bit, turning what’s white into white. I then lock that exposure and shoot away.

I really love snow! Pity I have to shovel it off our driveway, because that chore makes me hate the white stuff sometimes.

More to come; until the next time, have a nice day!
