Sunny Day Snow

Andy | Saturday, January 06, 2018 | Best Blogger Tips
Sunny day photos of snow can result in over exposure. Here's a trick I learned from Bryan Peterson to get the correct exposure every time. It is called the sunny 16 rule. Set camera to manual, aperture f16, shutter speed 200 and iso 200.

  2. F 8, iso 100, +1/2 exposure, measuring light and blocking exposure on snow.

  9. Or, you could just adjust the white balance. :) A fine photo, Andy! And it looks like you didn't have to get up too early to get the shot! That's a good thing!

  11. Looks so beautiful.
    Usually, we also have snow, but now there is no snow in southern Finland (where I live), but there is a huge amount in the north.
    Now it's all the time raining and it's gray.. :(.
