As we enter winter here in the Canadian Rockies, I'm preparing for months of wonderful winter photography. This video was packed full on information I needed and didn't know I needed! Really excited to carry these lessons into the field with me. Definitely going to refer to this video throughout the winter!

Thanks a lot Nigel. This is an awesome explanation. I do remember a few years ago being criticised that my white balance was off as snow should have been brilliant white. That was a pre-sunrise shoot very similar to the one you showed today. Sometimes people are missing this point. Snow will be as white as the light reflected by it.

Thank you for your great work and your dedication to helping spread your knowledge and craft to others. One of the most uplifting things of the 21st century has been our access to people you would otherwise never get to see if not for youtube. Before, you might spot a book in a bookshop but in youtube you have the author getting out of his car with sleepy eyes and showing you how he does it in the bitter cold. What it gives us is the chance to meet our particular teacher and in my case it is is Nigel.

very nice video, Nigel, to watch on a Sunday morning. We don’t have as much snow as we used to have in the Berlin area, hence this is a nostalgic experience... And then, I happen to be more into still photography but here watching Nigel moving through the picture, talking about clothing gear, obviously still feeling the cold, it feels like still photography is enhanced by such a video. Also the choice of music fits in very nicely. You made my Sunday morning, Nigel!

Interesting stuff Nige. Over the years, we’ve been so often brainwashed into believing we have to use exposure comp by 1-2 stops to make or force the snow to be white! This was a great insight into why this is not always the case. Regards, Dazza. 🇬🇧

I also thing the mirrorless cameras help so much by having a live histogram in the view finder and screen , thats my last check look all around the edge check settings and then histogram lol
@martinhommel9967 3 жыл бұрын
@@Tainted-Soul the histogram is the key. I find however that with a DSLR if you overexpose the sky by 1 - 1.5 stops you are generally in the right ball park

@lylestavast7652 3 жыл бұрын
couple of LR classic tool tips... 1) you can use the crop tool to bound an area and see what the histogram looks like for just that patch. that can come in handy trying to isolate what's going on in the color of any solid white/black area - it'll point out the casts... then re-crop how you want your full image to be of course... 2) you can measure just the lightness value on a scale of 0-100 by right clicking on the histogram and flip it to show the L*a*b outputs... L is your brightness... and you can flip it back to RGB if you want. That will help you determine compared to paper white or full black where some areas will fall in the output image...(not exactly zone system but on that sort of thinking...)

Great images, Nigel. After thinking winter and snowy images were all whited-out, you demonstrated quite the opposite. If you capture the color you have, white snow actually becomes a beautiful reflector of that light, painting the whole landscape with blushes of color and hues. Amazing shots. Thank you.

Having lived in the UK in Canterbury for about 3years, I found snow to be a bit rarer in the South. I also lived in Aberdeenshire in Scotland, but I was disappointed I couldn't be there in the winter. I get some pics from friends there, but where you are is amazing. Nigel, you have such a good eye and sense of photography. I'm in the Midwest, in Michigan now, and you really would have a great time taking pictures here. Scotland and Northern England remind me so much of my home state here. I'm so inspired I'm going to take my new Nikon z5 out now and work on some stuff. I'll also have to drag myself out of bed early to see what's out there. Many blessings on you in the New Year and keep these videos going... they really inspire one to get out and photograph!
