Tips for Cold Weather Photography
By Ellen Bedrosian
We’ve had a few snowfalls already, and I hope some of you have ventured outside and braved the lower temperatures to capture some images. Is there anything more peaceful than a white blanket covering pine trees, open fields or mountains? Unfortunately for me, I’ve been sick with bronchitis and missed taking advantage of the last snowfall. But I hope to be fully recovered soon, conquer my dislike of cold weather, and try my hand at capturing some winter scenes.
Some of our members are taking a trip out to Yellowstone this month (see inside for photo of them), but you don’t have to venture far from home to get some nice winter photos. This photo was taken at a park near my home last year, and even though it didn’t do very well in competition, I learned that I have to underexpose the image so that the whites don’t get blown out.
