Tips for Taking Pictures in the Snow!

Here are some tips to help you get better pictures in the snow:

1) Composition:

You can take good – or bad – pictures with any camera! The key to a good photograph is its composition, the placement of elements in a scene that results in a visually appealing photograph that is interesting, one that captures and HOLDS the attention of the viewer. An all-white snow scene, as pretty as it is to your eye, CAN be boring in a photograph. Break up the whiteness with fenceposts, trees, statues, colorful objects or clothing, to give contrast against the snow. A person walking away from your camera carrying a red or yellow umbrella is a great shot, for example. Also, try to get out there while the snow is still on the tree branches, it looks much prettier.
