First of all, you need to get dressed, and you need to do it well. Wear several layers of clothing rather than just one very warm layer. Put on shoes that will keep you warm and dry, and don’t forget gloves and a hat!</p> <p>It’s also important to protect your eyes. Especially if it’s cloudy, it might seem like there isn’t actually that much light. But since snow reflects light very effectively, your eyes can easily get damaged without you even noticing. This is called <em>snow blindness</em>, and the best way to avoid it is to wear sunglasses. </p> <p>(Yes, sunglasses in the winter, even when it’s cloudy! It sounds crazy, but ask anyone who spends a lot of the winter outdoors, and they’ll agree. And, of course, it’ll make you look cool.)</p> <p>When you’re certain you’ll stay warm and safe for long enough to be able to enjoy the snow, make sure you grab some extra batteries. The cold weather will drain the camera’s batteries surprisingly quickly. Keep the extra batteries close to your body (preferably your torso), inside your clothing, to keep them from getting cold and discharging faster.</p> <p>Now you’re ready to head out!</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="focus-on-contrast-or-use-manual-focus">2. Focus on contrast (or use manual focus)</h2> <p>Camera autofocus works by identifying contrast. This works great in normal shooting situations – but when everything turns snowy and white, your autofocus will have a hard time acquiring focus, which can lead to a lot of frustration and even missed opportunities.</p> <p>Fortunately, there’s a simple way around this:</p> <p>Switch your camera to its <a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/choosing-a-focus-mode/" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">single-point AF mode</a>. Then position your main focus point over a <em>contrast-heavy </em>area of your snow scene. For instance, you might focus on the bark of a tree, some vegetation poking through the snow, the roof of a house – anything that pops against the white. </p> <p>Next, press your shutter button halfway. If you’ve found a sufficiently contrasty part of the scene, the focus should lock – but if it <em>still doesn’t work</em>, you’ll need to identify an even more contrast-heavy subject.</p> <p>Finally, hold down your shutter button as you recompose the shot. And once you’ve created the perfect composition, press the button the rest of the way to take your perfect photo of snow!</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-97979" style="width:536px"><span class="space" style="width:536px; padding-top:139.93%"></span><img decoding="async" width="536" height="750" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/photographing-snow-beginners-tips.jpg?resize=536%2C750&ssl=1" alt="photographing snow beginner's tips" class="wp-image-97979 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/photographing-snow-beginners-tips.jpg?w=536&ssl=1 536w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/photographing-snow-beginners-tips.jpg?resize=214%2C300&ssl=1 214w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/photographing-snow-beginners-tips.jpg?resize=429%2C600&ssl=1 429w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 536px) 100vw, 536px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/photographing-snow-beginners-tips.jpg?resize=536%2C750&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" width="536" height="750" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/photographing-snow-beginners-tips.jpg?resize=536%2C750&ssl=1" alt="photographing snow beginner's tips" class="wp-image-97979" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/photographing-snow-beginners-tips.jpg?w=536&ssl=1 536w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/photographing-snow-beginners-tips.jpg?resize=214%2C300&ssl=1 214w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/photographing-snow-beginners-tips.jpg?resize=429%2C600&ssl=1 429w" sizes="(max-width: 536px) 100vw, 536px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span></figure></div> <p>Note that if you’re trying to photograph a low-contrast scene, such as a white house against a snowy backdrop, you may want to give up on autofocus entirely.

You see, when you use the RAW file format, you’ll have far more information to work with when editing. This will let you recover clipped shadows and highlights (and thanks to the brightness of sun on snow, the latter are pretty common in snow photography).</p> <p>I’d also recommend selecting your camera’s <a aria-label="Evaluative metering mode (opens in a new tab)" href="https://digital-photography-school.com/metering-modes-and-how-your-camera-meter-works/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">Evaluative metering mode</a>, also known as <em>Matrix metering</em>. This will analyze the entire scene to achieve the best possible exposure in most situations. If you’re struggling to get a good <a aria-label="exposure (opens in a new tab)" href="https://digital-photography-school.com/learning-exposure-in-digital-photography/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">exposure</a>, you can always try switching over to Spot metering or Partial metering, but Evaluative metering is a good starting point. </p> <p>Third, shoot in <a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/aperture-versus-shutter-priority-which-shooting-mode/" target="_blank" aria-label="Aperture Priority mode (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">Aperture Priority mode</a>. It’ll allow you to adjust the <a aria-label="aperture (opens in a new tab)" href="https://digital-photography-school.com/aperture/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">aperture</a> and <a aria-label="ISO (opens in a new tab)" href="https://digital-photography-school.com/iso-settings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">ISO</a> while your camera automatically changes the <a aria-label="shutter speed (opens in a new tab)" href="https://digital-photography-school.com/shutter-speed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">shutter speed</a> (with the goal of achieving a good exposure). </p> <p>Aperture Priority mode is a great way to gain control over different camera settings <em>without </em>feeling totally overwhelmed. It’s also a lifesaver in cold weather because you generally only need to spin a dial to adjust your aperture (cold fingers aren’t so great at doing complex operations!).</p> <div class="pb-ads pb-ads-ruleset-ad pb-ads-all"><div data-fuse="21770336820"></div></div><p>(Another option is to shoot in <a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/shoot-manual-mode-cheat-sheet-beginners/" target="_blank" aria-label="Manual mode (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">Manual mode</a>. However, in Manual mode, you’ll need to adjust <em>all </em>your settings, not just the aperture and ISO, so Manual mode isn’t ideal if you’re still wrapping your head around exposure, nor is it great for fast-moving situations. But if you want complete control over your camera settings, and you don’t mind working with cold fingers, then Manual mode is an excellent choice.)</p> <p>Once your camera is set to Aperture Priority mode, you’ll need to choose an aperture and an ISO. I’d recommend setting your ISO at its base level (generally ISO 100, though this can change depending on your camera). This will keep your images looking clean and free of noise. </p> <p>As for your aperture setting: This really depends on your artistic interests. A wide aperture (such as f/2.8) will give a beautiful <a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-get-shallow-depth-of-field-in-your-digital-photos/" target="_blank" aria-label="shallow depth of field look (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">shallow depth of field look</a>, but a narrow aperture (such as f/11) will keep most or all of the shot in focus, which can help highlight all the intricate details in a snowy landscape. If you’re not sure which aperture to choose for your snow photography, try shooting two images of each scene – a wide-aperture shot and a narrow-aperture shot – then compare them when you get home and see which you like best.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-98116" style="width:750px"><span class="space" style="width:750px; padding-top:71.47%"></span><img decoding="async" width="750" height="536" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/snow-photography-tips-a-beginners-guide.jpg?resize=750%2C536&ssl=1" alt="trees heavy with snow" class="wp-image-98116 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/snow-photography-tips-a-beginners-guide.jpg?w=750&ssl=1 750w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/snow-photography-tips-a-beginners-guide.jpg?resize=300%2C214&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/snow-photography-tips-a-beginners-guide.jpg?resize=600%2C429&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/snow-photography-tips-a-beginners-guide.jpg?resize=717%2C512&ssl=1 717w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/snow-photography-tips-a-beginners-guide.jpg?resize=750%2C536&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="750" height="536" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/snow-photography-tips-a-beginners-guide.jpg?resize=750%2C536&ssl=1" alt="trees heavy with snow" class="wp-image-98116" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/snow-photography-tips-a-beginners-guide.jpg?w=750&ssl=1 750w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/snow-photography-tips-a-beginners-guide.jpg?resize=300%2C214&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/snow-photography-tips-a-beginners-guide.jpg?resize=600%2C429&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/snow-photography-tips-a-beginners-guide.jpg?resize=717%2C512&ssl=1 717w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span></figure></div> <p>After you’ve chosen an aperture and an ISO, take a look at your shutter speed. Your camera will choose this based on exposure considerations, but if you’re shooting handheld, you’ll want to make sure the shutter is fast enough to ensure a sharp shot (1/100s or so is a good starting point, though it’s a good idea to experiment so you have a sense of your own handholding skills and limitations). If the shutter speed is too slow, go ahead and either widen the aperture or raise the ISO, which will force the shutter speed upward. </p> <p>You’ll also generally need to dial in one or two stops of positive <a aria-label="exposure compensation (opens in a new tab)" href="https://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-use-exposure-compensation-to-take-control-of-your-exposure/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">exposure compensation</a>. Due to the quirks of its meter, your camera will try to make the snow look gray, and exposure compensation will counteract this effect to keep things <em>bright</em>. Note that your shutter speed may drop below its acceptable limit (see the previous paragraph), and if that happens, you’ll need to adjust your aperture or ISO to move the shutter in the right direction.</p> <p>Finally, make sure to pay attention to your white balance setting. If you’re not careful, your snow will turn out either yellow or blue. I like to use my camera’s Auto White Balance setting and then make adjustments to the white balance in post-processing – but such an approach will only work if you shoot in RAW! Another option is to use a gray card to set your white balance when you head out shooting, though this can be a hassle, especially when you’re doing your best to stay warm. </p> <p>One note: Sometimes, capturing snow with a color cast can actually look quite nice, so don’t be afraid to lean into different white balance settings for artistic reasons!</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="use-the-right-snow-photography-gear">4.

On dark, cold, snowy days, the light is often relatively limited, and you’ll need to boost your ISO to capture sharp handheld shots, so an impressive sensor can make a big difference. A full-frame mirrorless camera like the <a href="https://geni.us/CanonEOSr5" target="_blank" aria-label="Canon EOS R5 (opens in a new tab)" rel="nofollow noopenernoreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored" class="ek-link">Canon EOS R5</a> or the <a href="https://geni.us/Sonya7IV" target="_blank" aria-label="Sony a7 IV (opens in a new tab)" rel="nofollow noopenernoreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored" class="ek-link">Sony a7 IV</a> will do an amazing job, though you can also get great results using an APS-C mirrorless model (e.g., the <a href="https://geni.us/NikonZ50BF" target="_blank" aria-label="Nikon Z50 (opens in a new tab)" rel="nofollow noopenernoreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored" class="ek-link">Nikon Z50</a> or the <a href="https://geni.us/CanonEOSR10dPS" target="_blank" aria-label="Canon EOS R10 (opens in a new tab)" rel="nofollow noopenernoreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored" class="ek-link">Canon EOS R10</a>) or a DSLR.</p> <p>Second, if you plan to shoot in bad weather, make sure you pick a weather-sealed lens. The focal length isn’t especially important, though it should match your interests; you don’t want to shoot with a super-telephoto lens if you’re trying to capture snowscapes! If you’re not sure what type of images you want to capture, consider using a 50mm prime lens (which works great for street photography, portraits, and walkaround photography) or a 24-70mm zoom (which is extremely flexible and can handle both wide-angle landscapes and tighter shots).</p> <p>Third, if you’ll be working with limited light, be sure to use a <a aria-label="sturdy tripod (opens in a new tab)" href="https://digital-photography-school.com/best-tripods-for-photography/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">sturdy tripod</a> or at least a monopod.

Otherwise, you might accidentally trample the snow during the shooting process, which will ruin your ability to capture <em>future </em>pristine photos.</p> <p>Note that pristine snow doesn’t last long. Capturing fresh snow might also mean heading out early to shoot (before the kids get up!), or monitoring the weather and getting outside just as the snow stops. Of course, if your schedule isn’t quite so flexible, that’s okay. Just take your camera to an area that you know people won’t disturb, like a forest or field.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="seek-out-color-or-tonal-contrast">6.

You get condensation on the lens and potentially even on camera internals, which is – you guessed it! – <em>not good</em>. (If you’re really unlucky, it can lead to mold.)</p> <p>Fortunately, it’s an easy problem to prevent.</p> <p>When you head out into the cold, bring along a large ziplock bag. I usually keep one in my camera bag or jacket pocket. Then, when you’re ready to go inside, just fill the ziplock bag with cold air, put your camera in the bag, and make sure the lock is sealed tight.</p> <p>Once you’re in the house, put your camera somewhere it can warm up slowly. When the camera reaches room temperature, you can take it out of the bag and use it normally.</p> <p>(And if you decide to go <em>back </em>outside to photograph after a brief rest in the house, you can safely take your bagged camera out in the cold, open the bag outside, and start shooting again.)</p> <p>Note that you’ll need to bag your cold camera before taking it into any warm environment, including stores, heated elevators, and a heated car. Therefore, if you want to photograph an outdoor snow scene and a beautiful interior in a single photoshoot, capture the indoor areas first, <em>then </em>go outside. That way, you won’t get stuck waiting around while your camera warms up (which often takes several hours!). </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="shoot-in-any-light">9.

Simply learn to work with the lighting conditions you’re given!</p> <p>When the sky is cloudy, find elements that will break up the white snow and add interest to your photos, such as trees, grass, or ice. You can also look for intricate landscapes, such as grasses against snow or patterns in frozen puddles and streams.</p> <p>When the weather is sunny, look for shadows created by the bright sun, and try converting your shots to black and white. If you shoot in the early morning or evening, do what you can to capture the warm light on the cold snow. Consider using a wide-angle lens and see if you can find a high angle that really conveys the expanse of the landscape.</p> <p>You can also capture beautiful <a aria-label="blue-hour (opens in a new tab)" href="https://digital-photography-school.com/5-quick-tips-for-better-blue-hour-photography/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">blue-hour</a> snowscapes, though you’ll need a tripod to keep your camera steady for a lengthy exposure. If you do decide to go this route, I recommend identifying several potential compositions in advance and setting up a few minutes before the blue hour arrives. Once the light gets going, take plenty of shots, but be careful not to touch your camera; you don’t want to cause any blur due to vibrations! Here, a remote shutter release can be extremely helpful.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="photograph-snow-at-night-for-a-menacing-look">10.

Photograph when the snow starts falling</h2> <p>Some photographers don’t like to take their cameras out in bad weather, which is perfectly understandable; just know that snowy days often provide amazing opportunities for images! </p> <p>Here are just a few ideas for photography on snowy days:</p> <ul> <li>Birds huddled in snow-covered trees</li> <li>Trees surrounded by a minimalist expanse of white</li> <li>Pedestrians hunched over against the wind</li> <li>Plants with little “hats” of snow</li> <li>Cityscapes with blowing snow and warm lights in the distance</li> </ul> <p>If your goal is to capture scenes that feature falling snow, you’ll want to avoid using lengthy shutter speeds, which will simply blur the snow into near-invisible streaks. Make sure your shutter speed is fast enough to freeze the snow (if needed, you can always boost the ISO – noise doesn’t show up as clearly when mixed in with snowflakes!). </p> <p>Of course, be sure to protect your camera, especially if the snow is wet and/or heavy. Consider using a rain cover or – if the wind is minimal – an umbrella. I’d also recommend carrying a towel, which you should use to wipe any stray flakes off your camera and lens, as well as a rocket blower, which you should use to blow snow off the front lens element. It’s also a good idea to use a lens hood to prevent snow from landing on the front element, though you’ll need to check the front of your lens frequently to make sure it’s snow-free.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="try-something-different">12.

Try some HDR processing</h2> <p>I’ll admit: I don’t typically do much HDR. However, I do use it sometimes for black-and-white photographs, particularly black-and-white snow photos. </p> <p>You see, I prefer to use HDR with black-and-white scenes because the processing can add a great textural quality without the typically unrealistic colors. Depending on the lighting, snow can often lack texture, and the difference between the bright whites and deep shadows within these scenes can be so pronounced that it just doesn’t work well. For me, HDR is the perfect tool to make such scenes work!</p> <p>Below, I’ve included an example; first, you can see the unedited image, then you can see the edited HDR image (processed using Photomatix).</p> <div class="wp-block-image is-style-with-caption"> <figure class="aligncenter"><a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_before.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-42632"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-42632" style="width:600px"><span class="space" style="width:600px; padding-top:66.67%"></span><img decoding="async" width="600" height="400" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_before.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1" alt="Central Park Tunnel at Night" class="wp-image-42632 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_before.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_before.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_before.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_before.jpg?resize=600%2C400&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="600" height="400" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_before.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1" alt="Central Park Tunnel at Night" class="wp-image-42632" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_before.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_before.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_before.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">My unedited photo of Central Park at night (Image by James Maher)</figcaption></figure></div> <div class="wp-block-image is-style-with-caption"> <figure class="aligncenter"><a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_after.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-42633"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-42633" style="width:600px"><span class="space" style="width:600px; padding-top:66.67%"></span><img decoding="async" width="600" height="400" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_after.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1" alt="Central Park Tunnel at Night, HDR" class="wp-image-42633 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_after.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_after.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_after.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_after.jpg?resize=600%2C400&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="600" height="400" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_after.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1" alt="Central Park Tunnel at Night, HDR" class="wp-image-42633" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_after.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_after.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HDR_after.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The edited photo!</figcaption></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="be-patient">15.

This background element could be light reflecting off melting snow, light broken by tree branches, or light shining through ice. Set your camera to a wide-open aperture (e.g., f/2.8 or f/4), and make sure there is some distance between your subject and the shiny background.</p> <p>Thanks to the wide aperture, your subject will be in focus, but not the shiny background elements. And when you hit the shutter button, you’ll get lovely background bokeh!</p> <p>Pro tip: You’ll get the best results if you can get close to your subject, so pick your closest-focusing lens and have fun!</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="use-a-reverse-white-vignette">18. Use a reverse (white) vignette</h2> <p>The purpose of a vignette is to keep the eyes from falling off the edge of an image and to lead the eyes <em>back </em>to the center of it. But with the amount of white and gray in snow photos, you generally can’t use a traditional dark vignette; it’ll be too obvious and look out of place.</p> <p>So use a white one! White vignettes can add a magical quality to snow photographs <em>and </em>can further enhance the middle-of-the-storm effect.  Adobe Lightroom is the tool I use to add my vignettes, and it works well.</p> <p>This is such a simple tip, but it can make all the difference!</p> <div class="wp-block-image is-style-with-caption"> <figure class="aligncenter"><a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/brooklyn_bridge.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-42628"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-42628" style="width:600px"><span class="space" style="width:600px; padding-top:66.67%"></span><img decoding="async" width="600" height="400" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/brooklyn_bridge.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1" alt="Brooklyn Bridge at Sunset, During Snowstorm" class="wp-image-42628 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/brooklyn_bridge.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/brooklyn_bridge.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/brooklyn_bridge.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/brooklyn_bridge.jpg?resize=600%2C400&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="600" height="400" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/brooklyn_bridge.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1" alt="Brooklyn Bridge at Sunset, During Snowstorm" class="wp-image-42628" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/brooklyn_bridge.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/brooklyn_bridge.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/brooklyn_bridge.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by James Maher</figcaption></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="add-color-and-contrast">19.
