8 Tips for Photographing Kids in the Snow by Cathy Mores

2. Overexpose a little for the snow so it looks crisp and white. This is where photographing in manual can really work to your advantage (and if you don’t know how, learn from my workshop or any of Me Ra and Brian’s photography workshops!) Photographing in AV or aperture-priority mode can make the snow appear too dark because the camera only “sees” the white from the snow. Using manual exposure, and overexposing by slowing down your shutter speed by just one stop or opening up your aperture a little bit more, will make the snow appear sparkly and bright. (Point and shoot users, consider the beach/snow shooting mode. This automatically compensates for the brightness of your surroundings.)
