Tip 1: Make the Snow White

The holiday season is quickly approaching. It is time to start buying presents, selecting the holiday menu and also start charging your photo cameras. I would like to share with you a few tips on how to enhance your photos this holiday season. I found them very useful and hope you use them to create memorable images.

Here goes the first tip for all those who are lucky to have some snow out there:)

Tip #1. Make the snow white
The easiest way to make snow white is to check your histogram after you take the shot. The histogram represents the amount of specific tonalities in a scene, with the right side representing the bright tones and the left side showing dark tones. When reviewing your histogram, make sure it’s pushed to the right side so the snow is white. Do this in manual mode by opening up (choosing a wider aperture) or slowing your shutter speed, both of which let in more light in the exposure. In program, shutter and aperture modes, add light by going +1 stop or more with the exposure compensation button. Your histogram should push right up against the right side to make the snow white.
