Appleberry Photography -Digital Photography -Winter Photography

It's snowing again!  My gosh!  Winter has taken a toll on much of the United States including here in Michigan!

As stated in a previous post, winter can be beautiful for a photographer!  Though capturing the perfect balance of white when photographing the snow can be trickly, many digital cameras will self adjust to compensate for the glare of the sun on the snow.

There have been many good tips in past posts about keeping warm while outdoors in the winter and equally important, is keeping your camera, including your battery dry and warm!

Here is a photograph taken in Northville Michigan last February after a snowfall!

As you can see, there are many shadows in this photograph.  Some are the result of the position of the sun in late afternoon, and other shadows are the result of a structure near the vacant bench. I decided to keep the photograph natural and not "fix" it in Photoshop.

My gosh the Polar Vortex continues to plague us here in Michigan and around the country!

-30 degrees is COLD!

Snow is piled everywhere. I believe we had a snowfall of approximately 9 inches and we were lucky!

As mentioned in a previous post, winter can be a beautiful season for photographers to capture the outdoors.  From sledding to landscape photos, winter offers many opportunities to photograph great memories!

Here is an article by the New York Institute of Photography on Winter Photography:

Winter Photography Tips

By Tom Cavalieri on December 22nd, 2012

Plan on using your digital camera outdoors for winter photography? Take a few tips from this photographer's summer assignment.
August. Not normally a month to be taking digital photos in the snow. But that's just what I was doing on Washington's glacial Mount Baker, participating in and reporting on an Alpine Ascents International mountaineering course for The Robb Report, the luxury lifestyle magazine.
It just so happens that the year I undertook this assignment, Mount Baker, just north of Seattle, received a record amount of snow that lasted well through the following summer. The snow was almost a foot deep in the parking lot near the base of the mountain and at 8,000 plus feet elevation, it may as well have been February. Which meant that despite the season, the class was learning how to get along in snow and ice, and as far as my photographing it all was concerned, winter rules applied as well.
No matter if you're traversing glaciers, skiing the slopes, sledding with the kids, or just trying to capture that first snowfall of the season there are some winter photography basics to keep in mind in order to get great winter pictures with your digital camera.

Baby It's Cold Outside

The first thing you need to consider when shooting outdoors in the winter (or at least, in snow conditions) is the temperature. Sure, you're all bundled up, but what about your camera? The batteries in your digital camera don't react well to the cold, it reduces their output. That's why your mom always kept new batteries in the fridge, right? Keep your camera warm by carrying it under your coat, as close to your body's warmth as possible. And carry extra sets of batteries in a warm place too.
I kept two extra sets of batteries stashed in my pants pockets anytime I took my camera out. I'd rotate the batteries to give them a chance to warm up again. Otherwise, cold batteries act like dead batteries.

Digital Photography Tip: Don't be Snow Blind

Once you get past dealing with the cold, taking winter photos is a piece of cake, right? Nope. You've got all that shiny white stuff to deal with in winter photography. Snow presents all kinds of problems to the digital photographer. If you just "meter the scene" your camera's built-in light meter will read all that snow as an 18% gray tone. The snow will look gray and everything else in the picture darker than the snow will look black. A general rule of thumb is to compensate for the brightness by opening up one or two stops or over-exposing, to let in more light. If your camera has automatic exposure compensation try both a +1 and +2 and see which works best. Another solution, which we teach in the NYIP Complete Course in Professional Photography is to set exposure using a gray card.
Of course if you're trying to photograph the people in that snow scene and you use the above method, you run the risk of over-exposing them as well. You've got to choose which is the more important part of the subject, the people or the snow. If it's people you're after then the trick is to get right in their face (with your camera of course) and take a reading of the light that's hitting it. Set your camera accordingly and no matter where you shoot from you should have the proper exposure for the person's face. If you can't get a close-up reading, (for instance, someone zooming by on skis) take a reading of your own hand (minus the glove). As long as your skin tone and the amount of light is same as your subject's you should get an accurate exposure.

Timing is Everything

Another important digital photography tip for every photographer to know is that good lighting is the key to great pictures and the best time of day, lighting-wise when shooting outdoors is often early morning or late afternoon. That's especially true in snow. At a low angle the sun casts long shadows and adds contrast to your subject that otherwise might not be there if it were directly overhead. Knowing where the sun is in relation to your subject is important any time of day. Keep the sun at a right angle to your shot early or late in the day and behind you when it's high in the sky.

Winter Photography – Yes, it's All White, All Right

While the idea of capturing that pristine field of snow might sound appealing, it may lead to a boring photo. Look for objects that add color and contrast to your scene. Colorful ski clothes and dark contrasty shadows abound in winter. Use them to add emotional weight as well as interesting compositional devices to your pictures.

A Not Too Bright Suggestion

One of the things that I found most annoying on those cold August days was not being able to compose my shot in the camera's LCD display. I just couldn't see because of all the glare. This was really a problem when I used a telephoto adapter attached to the camera and couldn't use the viewfinder. My camera had no way of attaching a hood to shade the screen, but I was able to get around the problem by calling on the photographer's (and the camper's) best friend: duct tape. I fashioned an improvised hood from the tape, just large enough to shade the display and allow me to see what it was I was shooting.
One last thing: When I was finally back in civilization and reviewing the photos I had taken that snowy summer, I was glad that I had decided to bracket many of the shots I had taken. While some of the images needed major color correcting in Photoshop, more times than not, I had some great raw material to work with right out of the camera. The key was taking a few different exposures whenever possible and deleting the files that were obviously over or under exposed but keeping all the rest.
If you try some of the techniques mentioned above the next time you find yourself shooting in snow, winter or summer, you'll end up better, more interesting images.

Here is a photograph taken after a snowstorm one afternoon two  years ago.

Theme and angle selection of landscape photography is paramount to perfect photographs! 

The following article provides a myriad of helpful tips for capturing landscape photographs!

Theme And Angle Selection for Landscape Photography

or landscape photography, in addition to the appropriate shooting equipment, we should also make sure what the theme is. If you establish a theme, select an appropriate angle and make good use of your shooting skills, you can take the beautiful scenery into excellent pictures.
1. Establish a theme.
The subject of landscape photography has a wide range. Mountains, rivers, forest wilderness, urban landscape and even the park are landscape you can choose to take shootings. However, before the shooting, we must determine the theme of the shooting scene, and then consider how to show the theme. No matter how beautiful the picture is, if without a theme, it has no soul which won't touch one's heart. When we choose each subject of landscape photography, we should have a full understanding of the characteristics and circumstances of the scene. For example, when we take shootings for a city landscape, we should know well for the special features of this city. We should know which building has its symbolism and what's the best time to perform the subject.


2. Framing and the angle.
If you want to take a perfect landscape photo, in addition to the main scene which can show the theme, background object is essential too. Object has primary and secondary, we should appropriately arrange them on the screen. Generally, we put the subject at an important and visible position, such as the golden section point or positive center. For the vast natural environment, shooting angles should be flexible. For a natural landscape with has unfixed subject, we should determine the shooting angle according to the different features from different side.
3. The use of foreground, middle ground and background.
If you want to add perspective and sense of depth on the screen, the foreground is essential. It links the elements of the scene together which makes the picture more beautiful and attracts the audience's longer attention. We need to pay attention that the foreground is the main body of the screen, but it is very important which can make the picture more plump and stereo.
The subject of the landscape photo can also be placed between the foreground and the middle ground, so middle ground processing is very important. It is the central visual guidance.
Background is used to expand the landscape and enhance the beauty of the picture. It the tone of background is light, it makes people feel distant and broad. If the tome of background is dark, it will produce a heavy majestic sense which seems like the rain is coming.
Only when we make good use of foreground, middle ground and background, we can take good shootings.

In fact, for video shooting, we can also make use of these tips. We should also have a good selection of the theme and angle. Video is easier to show the whole scene of landscape. Photography is better to show the detailed beauty.

When you have a theme with any photo, but especially landscape photography, you are telling a story. An old barn may bring back memories to someone who once lived on a farm.  An old house  in the middle of no where can conjure up all types of stories: from who lives there to is it abandoned and if so why?  Bad history there? 

Hope you have a chance to get out and take some landscape photographs in this nice weather!

Advance Landscape Photography Tips and Techniques

A landscape is really a section or part of scenery as seen from one viewpoint. Landscape is the subject of a landscape image. Typically, people and animals aren't shown inside a landscape, unless they're relatively small within the image and also have been contained in the composition to exhibit scale.


A landscape is really a section or part of scenery as seen from one viewpoint. Landscape is the subject of a landscape image. Typically, people and animals aren't shown inside a landscape, unless they're relatively small within the image and also have been contained in the composition to exhibit scale.
From a purist perspective, they are probably correct, since a landscape is a picture of the land and its aggregate natural features. However, if natural scenery dominates an image, it can probably be accurately termed a landscape, even though there may be a farmhouse in the distance, a city skyline on the horizon or a road or path in the foreground.
Shoot close to sunrise and sunset to achieve more balanced exposures. Shooting during the harsh daylight produces very contrasty light and is difficult to capture details in both the shadow and highlight areas. If it's one thing you take away from this guide it should be this!Compose an image to exclude more and include less; remove any element that does not add to the image. Simplicity is often the key!
Scale can often be important to the understanding of a landscape, and can be achieved by including an object of a known size in the scene.The quality of the light is perhaps the most influential attribute of a successful landscape. Waiting for interesting lighting that is moody, dramatic or diffused usually pays off in a memorable photograph. Top landscape photographers will often return again and again to a location until lighting conditions
are just right.


At Landscape photography  ensure that your camera's flash is turned off when shooting landscapes, unless you require it to brighten a foreground object. Flash in a dusty, misty or
foggy scene may cause flare by reflecting off the droplets of moisture or dust particles.
Use a tripod to ensure sharpness, especially in low-light conditions.
In very low light, be sure to select a fast film speed or a high ISO sensitivity setting in your digital camera that will permit proper exposure and good depth of field.
Shoot in RAW format for maximum quality if any post production editing will be performed later. This is really a big deal!
Switch to manual focus and focus one-third of the way into a scene and do not use the smallest aperture of the lens (i.e. f/22). Instead use at least 2-3 stops up from the smallest opening in order to achieve sharper images.

SLR Digital Photography - Landscape Photography

Continuing with landscape photography, here is another excellent article! Yesterday we talked about light. First we discussed the color of light… You need to get up early in the morning and start shooting in the 20 or so minutes before dawn. AND you need to keep shooting for about 20 minutes or so past sunset. At those times there is a phenomenon we will call a "false" sunrise and sunset that can produce some absolutely stunning colors in your landscape and cityscape photos. Next we talked about the angle of the light… Think of bodybuilder photos. The light is coming from about 90 degrees to the subject. This creates a lot of shadows that accent and define their muscles. At dawn and dusk, the glancing light from the sun is at the perfect angle to create a lot of defining shadows. This will add a lot of third dimensionality to your photos and make them come alive! Try shooting the same scene at both dawn and dusk, then compare the results to the same scene shot at noon. You will never sleep in again! Next we mentioned shooting when there are clouds in the sky. This will add a lot of visual interest to the scene - as well as a lot of color. Now the rising or setting sun has something to bounce off of! When the weather is bad… Get out there! That is the time you will get the best shots. Today, let's add a couple more landscape photography tips and techniques. Use a tripod! When shooting landscapes, particularly in the predawn and post sunset times - you will need a long exposure! (Creating an acceptable depth of field requires shooting at minimal apertures - which means long shutter speeds.) Don't even think of trying to get a contest winner by shooting handheld. It won't happen. Then, use the mirror lockup feature if your camera has one. Most of the better DSLR cameras do For the ultimate in photo sharpness - in addition to locking up the mirror, use a timed shutter release. It may seem like a bit of overkill, but these sharpness techniques can and do make a big difference. As far as composition is concerned, pay attention to the foreground! Use it to draw the viewer's eye into the photo. Use leading lines, framing, diagonals and so on. Another compositional element to consider is the horizon, make it level! What is the most important element in your landscape or cityscape photo? Is it the sky? If so, put the horizon on the lower third of the shot. Is it the ground? Put the horizon in the upper third. While there are times that placing the horizon in the middle is the right call, they are rare. Make sure you have a specific reason to do so! Last but not least… Make sure your photo has a "star". What attracted you to the scene? Make sure you accent that feature and drive the viewer's attention to it. Don't make the mistake of trying to make the entire scene equally important. You need a star. I hope this review of landscape photography tips and techniques will help you start getting contest winning landscape and cityscape photos! In the excitement of the moment, it is easy to forget to do some of these admittedly basic but essential landscape photography tips and techniques (there are more coming tomorrow)... Here is your assignment - start to make up a checklist (of these and any other landscape photography tips and techniques you can think of), have it laminated and stick it in the side pocket of your camera bag. Every time you are shooting, you can pull out your landscape photography tips and techniques checklist and won't forget anything!

Tips on Taking Great Landscape Photos

Taking great landscape pictures can seem so easy compared to shooting action photography or taking pictures of children or animals.  But any photographer that's carried heavy equipment up a mountain to take a spectacular shot with no success, will tell you it's a lot more than just showing up.  Here are a few things you can to do to get beautiful landscape pictures.

Focus On the Detail

Landscape photography is all about the details.  The more detail you can capture in your image, the better it's often going to look.  Detail and depth of field are both increased by longer exposure times, so try to use the highest F-stop value (22 on most cameras) whenever possible. This will allow less light into the camera and give you more flexibility in exposing the film.  If you want to use a slower ISO film (around 100) this will also pull in more detail but be careful as slow films may not be the best for all lighting situations.

Hold 'em Steady

Even though a slower shutter speed will give you greater depth of field and detail, increasing the exposure time has its own problems.  At a shutter speed of about 125, even the most steady handed photographer will struggle with "hand shake" blur so it's best to mount your camera on a tripod or brace it on a sturdy object.  If you're using the bulb setting on your camera or a super slow shutter speed you may also want to consider getting a cable release.  A cable release will help prevent the image from being ruined because of your hand movements pushing the shutter button.

Aim for Something
  Picture an empty room with no windows- pretty boring isn't it?   Just like any other picture, you need a subject in your landscape picture to make it interesting.  No matter what kind of landscape you're taking, you want to have some type of focal point framed in the image.  This may seem strange, but simply pointing a camera at a mountain and hitting the shutter isn't going to automatically result in an amazing photograph.
Think of the story of each photograph, and try to tell it in the frame.

Always Be Ready

Landscape photographers don't have the luxury of scheduling appointments or building their own light environments.  You have to be able to work with factors outside of your control and take advantage of them on a moments notice.  Shooting images in the early morning hours compared to dusk is very different and has a very limited timeframe for you to take the perfect shot.  So, if you want to take an impressive landscape picture, you're going to need to have your camera gear packed up and ready for whenever an interesting moment appears.

Be Patient

Though it seems almost the opposite of being ready to run out the door at a moment's notice, understand that landscape photography can require an immense amount of patience.  Every fascinating picture captured by a landscape photographer's lens, will often never be seen the same way again so you often have to be willing to wait it out.

Landscape photography is deceptively complex.  From an outsider's perspective, it seems like all a photographer needs is a camera and some hills or a waterfall; understanding how the time, weather, and composition of these photos influences the final product is the mark of a true professional. With those couple of things, you can start taking great landscape pictures that you'll be proud to display on your wall.

Landscape Photography Tips for Novices

The particular initially landscaping photography tips for those that still in digital photography beginner phase, certainly remember the fact that the optimum time for photograph is 15-30 minutes prior to sun rising and 30-1 hours after sun rising (according to the sharpness of the light). For the evening 15-30 minutes before sundown as well as half an hour after that. The primary reason for it is because in those days you'll get a hot spark and gentle shadows that give high quality specialist illumination on landscape pictures.
Taking photos of panorama you ought to depending on guideline in point 1 above, typically lower light, and almost always requested the tripod continually. Practically cannot hand-held in landscape digital photography. You should compare your photograph utilizing and never using tripod, it makes sense you'll have sharp picture having a tripod. Utilizing tripod, your work is often more special and looks expert. You may believe transporting your tripod in all places will be really hard, but now there is a tripod produced from carbon fiber. This kind of components is certainly lighter
weight, same power just as metal, and does not create and magnify that reduces vibrations, however the price is expensive.
Specialized photographers shooting mode for landscaping photography is usually aperture priority setting (A or AV). This function is often well-liked simply because of aperture priority allow you to decide how to present an original picture. Photography for dummies, the following setting presents choice setting the actual aperture. When you need to focus the topic and then blur the backdrop then select a huge aperture (little aperture amount) in its place if you wish to focus both on subject and thus background you just lower aperture (elevating number aperture).
The interesting aspect of scenery digital photography requires you to determine its composition. Be sure to spend some time meant for checking the masterpiece of photography professionals just like David Muench, Moose Peterson, Stephen Johnson, and John Shaw. You will uncover Three important things which will need to be figured out, right here a few digital photography points: a) Foreground, if take a picture of sunset, that didn't get started via coastline, b) Centre part, though photographing a sunset, middle division of ocean replicate sunshine. In many cases the middle area is the sun itself; c) Background, in the sundown photograph, the background is certainly clouds and sky. The benefit obtain a photograph at just dawn often is the water surface area (ponds, lakes, bays and other) more peaceful as a result of breeze barely strikes. As a result well suited for generating mirror reflection effect inside your photos.

Really want to have the appearance of the waterfall or maybe the silky smooth water stream as you see present in images of expert professional photographer? The scenery photography suggestions are to entrust the shutter exposed approximately one or two seconds to consider picture of shifting water and others (stones and also forests surrounding the waterfall or river) continued silent. Change the shooting setting for you to shutter priority (S or TV symbolizes in your camera control) and place this shutter speed for one or simply only two seconds so that shutter open up for quite a while equivalent designed for allowing too much light found in, due to this fact you will get a solid white photograph combined with totally broke. Thus, being a first step to know landscaping photography suggestions suitable for newbie's we must try: a) whenever taking pictures waterfalls ahead of sunrise or just right after setting sun or even in low-light situations, b) while using stop-down filter, an extraordinary darkening filtration system linked with your camera lens and preventing vast majority of lighting entering the camera. If you don't have a stop-down filter you could use any polarization filter containing capabilities: a) minimize glare around the gravel and waterfalls, b) two stop skimming. Try diverse shutter speeds (4 seconds, 6 seconds, 10 seconds), and may also create water motion just like smooth silk.
In case you want to know basic principles of scenery digital photography for first timers specifically woodland landscape photography, the rule is doing not necessarily contain dirt since the soil is frequently
extremely grimy (deceased limbs coupled with leaves). Very easy, just take a photo in front of you without land surface area. Apply for taking photos the natural environment over a cloudy day as it's difficult to get a decent photo in the very hot sun exposure and so vivid. If you've got fog or possibly mist, your own images are really certain will be more eye-catching.
Currently there are a couple of rules within photography for newbie to use position of horizon line, which do not stick to the amateur style through placing the horizon line in the middle of your own panorama images because photographs may look simply snap basis. If you get a great view of the sky, position the skyline on the lower third (emphasize the sky). In case the earth's surface feels attractive at that point assemble the horizon at the upper one-third.
One particular for the recommended designs for scenery photography is view of the mountain range. In order to create your own images appear exclusive don't take image through beneath region, considering that that is certainly frequent point of view, everyone have got go through it. If you like to cause a gorgeous hill images, the panorama photography advice for newbie also professional can be change your standpoint, take photos through above.
