Why Photography in Snow is Difficult
Snow creates amazing photo shoot possibilities, but photography in snow is not as easy as one may think. White covered landscape, branches and trees make us excited, but when you take the shot it is not very exciting! Let’s see what usually goes wrong in photography in the snow.
List of possible issues when taking photographs in snow
1- Snow is Blue or Magenta
This is the common problem that photographers face when photography in snow. The main reason is that the exposure is not set correctly, i.e. the photo is underexposed.

As snow reflects more light, it can fool the camera and force the camera to underexpose the picture.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Solution for underexposed images when taking photographs in snow

If you are using manual exposure, just set your exposure +1 stop. If you use semi automatic, set the Exposure Compensation (usually the button has +/- sign on it) to +1. Problem solved!

2- White Balance is off
This is another common issue in photography in snow. Although snow looks white to our eyes, the camera sees it differently. Practicing Custom White Balance is the best solution. Refer to your camera’s make and model and find out how to set the custom White Balance, even when shooting in Raw. Correct White Balance can improve the image quality.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”20394″ img_size=”400×600″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”slideInRight” title=”White Balance is Off”][vc_single_image image=”20395″ img_size=”400×600″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”slideInRight” title=”Correct White Balance”][vc_single_image image=”20397″ img_size=”600×400″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”slideInRight” title=”Camera’s default setting”][vc_single_image image=”20396″ img_size=”600×400″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”slideInRight” title=”Exposure Compensation +1″][vc_single_image image=”20398″ img_size=”600×400″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”slideInRight” title=”Correct exposure and White Balance”][vc_column_text]There are many more techniques for photography in snow.
