| What me depressed? |
One of the interesting challenges at this time of year in any northern climate is the white balance. We get a lot of gray skies along with white snow,conifers that are a deep rich green fringed with snow, and a distinctive lack of bright colours, unless you count my sweater.As an aside the snow permits Boom and I to track the four legged animals so we can try and catch up to them to photograph. Many people in fact in the area are depressed, but me I love the weather and the challence of colour balancing. I'm just learning, but I use a fast shutter speed, 1/20 or 1/30 with f16 and an EC of .67, and an ISO of 400.
The effect is to produce an almost monochromatic photo with just a touch of colour. It shows especially in the over hanging branch in which you can just see green. It also shows in Boom who is standard Malamute colours -white, black, gray with a touch of beige. You can just see the beige in his coat.
Hope you like the views.
