Snow!

[Jimfoxyboy]

I just had to! ^.^;;

Has anyone else gotten the chance to play in the snow yet, or will be getting the chance to do so before it all turns to slush and rain tomorrow?



(Ugh, snow can be a bit tricky to photograph. It can mess with the white balance soooo much. I guess the camera flipped out on the contrast of the first picture or something, kind of why I didn't get any detail of the snow. On the second one, I was able to fiddle with the contrast and get at least some of the details to show up.)

Biked a good 5-10k with a mountain bike on hardly traveled roads at a steady pace for the experience. Coming from a road bike the lack of traction and sliding was not all too bad, a great workout.

Hey, at least the snow meant I didn't have to deal with all the craziness on the road yesterday. But yes, snow does mess with your white balance on your camera. I can't remember off hand how to fix it, though I could figure it out in a few minutes I guess.

If you want it to be the right color you have to give it a bit of positive exposure compensation to counteract the camera's natural tendency to want to make it grey. It's not so much white balance.

In the lower shot, I adjusted the contrast through Adobe. Otherwise the details wouldn't show up very well. There wasn't much I could the upper one after I gotten it off the camera, or so I figured after trying a few things. I also tried a couple of shots with and without the flash when I was taking the pictures, just to see what it would do. There is a setting for white balance but I think it only opens up for their version of a 'manual mode'. And even then, it is mostly to do with lighting types. I also had a heck of a time trying to get the shots to focus properly at times.

Ah well, its not like we get snow all the time. It was just something that popped into my head to do before it went all wet out there :)

Cool, and ya I remember learning that way of taking snow Silvermink. Sucks that the snow is pretty much gone in Van now.

 :-3 Cute. Amazing how you can operate a camera with your mouth.

I am very jelly of your snow. :) Here on the island, from Nanaimo and south anyways, it's a very green Christmas. Cloudy and windy too.  :birdy:

Its pretty much all gone now, save for a few spots where it was piled up from shoveling. -sad face-
