Our assignment this week was horizons so I took a couple of different ones trying my best to focus on certain settings that I thought would lend the best clarity, color and interest.
For this shot I used a shutter speed of 1/80, and aperture of 10.0 and ISO of 3200. No real reason for choosing those numbers.... just experimenting and hoping I could catch as much of the color as possible but still keep some of the noise out of the picture.
Pictures in the snow have always been the hardest for me. Trying to get a great shot without blowing out the white in my shots has always been a problem. So, I tried a few shots to see if I could find an appropriate setting. I focused on the shutter speed and ISO so I wouldn't overwhelm myself with too many settings and this is what I came up with.
Shutter - 1/250
ISO - 400
Aperture - 5.6
I also took the liberty of fixing one of my photos in Photoshop just to see what kind of things I could do in my next shot to fix the shadows and light and how much more my shot can be improved. I've shared the "improved" picture below.
I think I might add aperture the next snow day, along with my shutter and ISO. Hopefully I will finally find the right combination to finally get snow pics that are not too dark or too blown out.
