Snow in and Around Maidenhead, February 2009

Have you taken pictures of snow around your home or work?

Why not add a few here?

Strictly speaking not a club walk or event, but could not think of anywhere else to put this.

Where I was meant to working today was not acessable so I didn't go to work. I went for a walk round one side of Eton Wick my aim was to get a picture of a Heron ( also some snow of course) I have added some above I hope you enjoy. If you never got a chance to get out with your camera, maybe this lot will hang around until the weekend for you ?

The Thames Valley is a bit polluted but the snow is not all that grey! Most digital cameras on most settings miscalculate the required exposure for snow scenes, and under-expose. If you go to 'exposure compensation' (or similar, or +/-) and raise the setting by half to a full stop it counters this effect.

Ideally though, shoot in RAW at about plus one stop, and recover any burned out spots in Lightroom or another RAW processor. As Phil Binks pointed out in January, there is lots more data left in a marginally overexposed than in an underexposed area.
