bring a polarized filter that allows a turn to remove unwanted glare or reflections.

Here is a view out my back door, and using some of the post processing tips. No original overexposure. The idea was to capture that effect of snow outlining every branch, an effect that needs a certain kind of wet snow and no wind.
Then I tried the Faux Infra Red effect. Which one is best?

I am heading to northern wis. to photograph the sea caves and the waterfalls. There will be ice and snow. I haven't done much with photographing ice and snow. There is the issue with the brightness and then with water, snow glare. Another issue is the whiteness of the snow. I have a Canon 50D and I understand the basics like aperture, shutter speed, white balance, depth of field.

I want to understand the best way to keep the snow white, the glare down and have clean clear photographs that wont turn out to grey or dark looking.

When are you going and where will you be? I am headed back to Bayfield in Jan. to take photos of the sea caves.

I have used polarizing filter the most and I am trying to learn the use of the Neutral density filter that might help with Snow, moving water photos. Any help will be greatly appreciated and I will take notes.

I was walking along a frozen creek with a 4x5 right after a snow on a very sunny day. I found a tree on a bank with a cave under the ground level. I metered the shadows (in the cave) and the highlights (sunny snow). 14 zone difference (Ansel Adams)lol. I overexposed and lenghtened the development time. The detail was in the shadows and you could see the detail in the snow granuales with no area bleached out. So if you are still shooting film thats how Ansel would have done it. I just recently started digital and I have yet to find the opportunity to shoot snow which makes this thread important to me. I do know that some filters will take away the sparkle in some sunny snow photos.

sorry I have to get use to how these threads work. double post
Interesting. When I used film it was just to take pics and not with any idea on how to do so. I am most familiar with digital and snow with water is harder for me.

I got news for you....snow and water are hard for everyone unless that's the only shots they take ! Here's a shot of my apartment.....it's tough to under expose a shot to get the texture in the snow while still being able to retain detail in trees and buildings ! I didn't succeed in this shot....just a poor example !

I think you did a good job. I love the color saturation.

The bottom one with the faux IR has more of a surreal effect. They both were beautiful. I guess it depends what you are looking to accomplish.

Here in NE Wisconsin we get to take class through the Tech. School. (NWTC). The best part is the cost for seniors is $4.
We are scheduled for a PSE class starting Jan.9.
We took one already but were told this lady really knows her stuff. We use the items we were taught in the first class. Still have lots of question about PSE.
