what to know about the snow

windoze · February 25, 2005

i think somewhere there was a tutorial about shooting in snow? I am going on an outing to "shoot" some wolves. I kinda understand how to use my 20D. i predict the recent snow is gonna cause havoc on my exposures. any "LAYMAN"S" help would be appreciated. also i will be with 25-75 feet of these wolves. any suggestions as to what lens will be best. 100-400, 70-200, ???

unfortunately I can't be much help regarding exposures (I always bracket like crazy in situations like that--maybe use a polarizer filter, too?--I'll leave it to the experts) but I did want to say that you're very brave

.....even though I know they're probably more scared of you than vice versa but I really cannot wait to see these shots! wolves are soooo beautiful. where are you doing the shoot at?
