I'll have a poodle with me over Christmas / New Year so will be
walking in the mountains rather than skiing so will have the camera
with me.
Anyone got any suggestions or hints for using a digital camera when
the sun is shining in winter? With my SLR I had filters and stuff,
don't seem to exist in the digital world.
BTW it eats batteries, thank goodness for rechargeables.
I seem to get away with auto settings most of the time, using the fill flash if necessary when it's really sunny!
Sometimes the auto white balance leaves snow with a little blueish, but I use Photogenetics to clean that up later. (Fuji F700)
With my old (very old) film camera I always over exposed skiing shots by
a stop or two and this gave the snow a more enticing colour, white as
opposed to grey, but I haven't worked out how to do it with the didital
camera and end up doing it software later. Is it just my Olympus C990 or
is it a bit tricky to get action shots just at the right time with
digital cameras. I have to press the shutter realease about 1/2 a second
before the photo takes.
