Daesani goes out in the snow

Thank you all!

love the lighting in the third photo. It's so hard to get good snow photos, how do you do it??

Hmm, well, my little postage-stamp digicam doesn't do that well in low light or high contrast, and it was kind of contrasty especially in that photo. I just point and shoot... for most of these I just lightened the shadows a bit and dimmed the highlights equally a bit to reduce the range, then tweaked the contrast a bit. I think it helped that there wasn't a big area of bright sun on snow. I miss my "real" camera but just don't have a film developing option right now.
If your problem with snow is that it's too bright, does your camera let you adjust eosure by a stop or 2? I usually forget about that... something I would do naturally with my film camera but I forget about all the little buttons & settings on the digital Contrast? Kind of have to deal with that in photoshop I guess. (I dunno; is that much help? Doesn't sound like it!)

No it totally helps! I'm horrible about figuring out the right type of contrast hahah! The buttons on cameras are so confusing, The last time I took pictures I couldnt even figure out how to hide a graph that showed RGB levels when I took my pictures! You do have quite the talent!!
