marnix 0 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Some basics on shooting moving subjects on snow. kind of old (film) but the techniques stay the same. http://www.nyip.com/tips/current/skiing.php photography tips in general. This is a real source of information, but not so much on shooting in snow. http://www.dg28.com/technique.html Link to post Share on other sites

puretele 0 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Sanno, The site from the New York Institute of Photography is excellent. Montoya, My biggest tip when taking photos on snow is overexpose 1 to 1.5 stops to compensate for the camera meter tendency to underexpose in all that bright light. I almost always use film SLR's (film is still king) but the same principle applies to digital SLR metering systems. Lets hope we all get some great shots this coming winter!

intr0 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 shrug! it adjusts for the bright light i guess. auto mode probably has a hard time figuring out what its shooting. i just leave it to the electronic wizards at sony, and push the buttons I haven't had the chance to use my new sony dsc-w7 on the snow yet, but can't wait Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Buy a polaroid filter. If taking action shots, don't buy a regular digital camera. The shutter lag is too long. Keep your gear dry and watch for condensation when taking it indoors. Link to post Share on other sites
marnix 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 yeah condensation can be a real problem with SLRs. Best is to leave your camera outside in the cold or at least don't take it out of the bag while being indoors (=warm/humid). Link to post Share on other sites
