12/31 walk in the woods

Here are a few pics from a walk in the woods on 12/31 while it was still snowing a bit up here in Chisholm. The snow in the tree and brush and the fact that it was still snowing gave everything a kinda surreal look to it.

Awesome pics!

Thanks!!!! Although the pics are pretty cool it just doesn't do justice to what it looked like out there that on that walk.

You captured a beautiful day.

It was an awesome day to take a wintery hike in the woods. You just don't get to see something like that every day.

Upnorth I really like the way you captured the snow. I wish that I could have gone out and played In Deer River all we got was rain and when I went back to Carlton I realized where all the snow was that they were talking about when driving down hwy 2. Carlton only got 2 inchs

Up,

These are really good pics and show the snowfall beautifully. Check to see if your camera has exposure compensation. When shooting snow, you need to bump up your exposure by at least a stop. This will make your snow look white instead of grey.

God Bless,

I have my doubts, it is not a very versatil camera doesn't have much in the way of settings. But it is something I will check on.

Thanks!

upnorth, if you aren't able to get those settings on your camera, a very small amount of post processing can take out the gray tone with no problem if it's something you don't want in the photo. There are several ways to do it. You can brighten the whole photo. That's one way. The way I generally do it is to go to levels and pull the highlights slider over from the right toward the left, which takes color out of the highlights. I'd be more specific, but different pp programs offer different specific options on how to adjust the levels.

Steve thanks for the tips. Never tried to really play around too much with the software end of things. May have to give it a whirl and see what happens.

Thanks Scott
