The Lane John Farley

摘要

IT SEEMS strange to see snow scenes in July, but I suppose it helps us to appreciate how beautiful the weather is now and remember how amazingly cold it was last winter. John has sent me a collection of snow scenes from the lanes and fields near his house, and they all share the theme of trees silhouetted against a pale background. They also share a too-blue colour balance and a degree of underexposure brought on by the camera meter reacting to the brightness of the snow. On these occasions we have to take control, to tell the camera to allow the snow to be white - both througl our exposure and white balance. Set +15EV exposure compensation and take a custom white balance reading from a clean patch of snow.
