shot with 1Ds Mark II, 85mm f/1.8 lens, iso 100, aperture priority, f5.6, exposure compensation set to +1.3. this shot needed very little in post, just convert from raw, eyedropper curves adjustment, and some usm.

if you'd like to see a 100% crop from the full image, look here

enjoy (snow) photography,
Andy

    It looks a little OE. Can you back it down a stop and show us? A lot of detail is blown out, like the top snow and his left cheek.

    Oh wait. You didn't ask for a critique, did you? I'm sorry.

    Snow's great
    when you don't have to go to school, go to work, go to the store and you can just play with your dad, right?

    He looks like he's warm and thoroughly enjoying himself. Great shot for the family album!

    Don't you wonder if when's he's 18 he'll remember that day? :-)

    :D yeah that's the idea, to blow out the snow. 255s across, sometims and in some places. esp with shots like this.

    Love that shot, I think you've posted the link before. I had assumed he achieved that effect in post. ne_nau.gif

    for that shot of jim's, it's a combination of positive ec at shoot, and further agressive curves or levels adjustment in post. thumb.gif

    It is technically great Andy. I don't know why, it doesn't make me feel much, it might be my age, my interests, or the composition.......

    I loved Rutt's first photo of his dogs..........??? Don't remember the technicalities.

    Actually, I love the example you gave, where everything is blown but the kids, THREE of them. That might be the ticket. Could you redo it with two more kids?

    There are other snow photos I really liked, the friend of Lynn's photo in the woods.

    Those are what I can think of. To get the one with the totally blown out effect that you guided us to, Andy. That would just be curves? Or would some shapes need to be "erased", however one does that, I use the clone tool for the beach?

    ginger (my avatar is yesterday, at the edge of the marsh and waterways to the barren barrier islands that protect us from the ocean. It was so cold, and gorgeous, Bill wouldn't leave the van, kept complaining. I walked out on the dock, photographed a bit and took my own portrait. So that is my snow shot. I think the exposure was probably -1/3.)
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.
