Paulk Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 So we've made to friday morning. Spent a little too much time with the Saki and Sushi last night... Well deserved after a day riding in an area called the "Chocolate's". Runs like, "Swiss Chocolate", "Toberone", and one of my favorites "Chocolate Bunny". All in all, a decadent day indeed.

yyzcanuck Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I recall a big plastic zip lock bag of home-made 'pepperette' dried sausages. Nothing bad ever came from that either... except of course the aftershock of smells in the condo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Paul - when taking snow scene pictures..... look in the menus of your camera for something called Exposure Compensation or some such thing... set it to +2/3, and this will brighten your shots. Snow fools a camera badly, as you can see! Keep the pics coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack M Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Off topic but Jack do you know why???? very interesting (from a photo geek POV anyway) piece of photographic history Is this a quiz, or are you asking me? :) I believe it's because the camera tries to meter the snow as gray. And snow also often looks blue in photos because it's reflecting the sky. I suppose there's more to it than that....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 here you go jack. Yeah, but he'll have a ton more latitude for post-processing if he gets it mostly right in the camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchy_in_SD Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Gecko, Camera are calibrated to a standard grey for light level by default. When a camera sees a lot of white, it will underexpose to try to get to a level of light correct from it's calibration. Similarly if there is a lot of black in the picture, the camera will try to overexpose to compensate the black. That's why you want to overexpose your snow pictures so you can really see white snow instead of grey. In general, processing machines will automatically compensate when develloping your pics on paper. Underexposure is really visible with slides as they dont have much lattitude in exposure. As for digital pics, you can always use photoshop to brighten your pics and get back to a normal level of lighting with snow pics.

Frenchy_in_SD Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I was too slow.... Jack got it right before me. As Jack said, better have the picture right the first time instead of trying to fix it in post processing (digital or on paper). I use to underexpose my films when I was shooting indoor basketball and volleyball in college (B&W) and then correct the exposure while printing the pics. When the over/underexposure is low you dont loose too much details, but if the over/underexposure is too big, you will loose in details and contrast.

JJFluff Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I know, just playing around,but......with good photoshop techniques, you can make very good changes, without damaging the photograph. But thats besides the point. Do it right from the beginning so you don't have to fix it in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulk Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Slow day at work for you guys, I guess. Thanks for the input Jack. But to be truthful, there isn't a whole lot of sunshine around here. The last few days have been really gray. Now can someone help me make that poodle picture go away? Day six in the books. Big lines, sore legs. more untracked snow. Pics to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 camera geekism....Yes all camera light meters are calibrated to 18% gray...which also closely matches Caucasian skin tone. As for the Blue it's not so much the sky as it is the CCD/chips reaction to ultraviolet light that is amplified in snow conditions and high altitudes. under normal conditions UV isn't normally an issue but it becomes an issue at higher altitudes and in F/22 conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gecko Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 ...ins't the blue tint also because of the white balance getting confused with lots of white? only if you actually use Auto white balance...which is a great way to completely screw up color photos....snow can often look good using the fluorescent WB setting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
