Weather

For checking the weather is not more than a daily duty for many people. But for people learning to become a better photographer that thrills at the sight of twisters, vivid lighting, and blizzards that leave a blanket of whiteness, checking for storms is a critical prep work that puts them, and our cameras in front of Mother Nature’s most remarkable displays. Documenting the extreme weather is not for the faint safety, and can pose a real danger to the photographer and their gear. It’s best to start out with a little safer example of weather and the seasons. It took a bit of practice getting used to the cameras adjusting to movement of the subject (area or location of picture).

It was an early morning, sun was out and frosty. Why not take one, to show how the season has changed from fall to winter. I was trying to blur background as the sun is coming in and have the focus point of the picture be the morning frost. That can be clearly seen. Also to keep an even white balance of the correcting setting to keep the frost look crisp and white. “For more Adventures types of weather such as electrical storms, floods, hurricanes, or tornadoes, take wide angle shots from a distance to encapsulate the scale of the event. “ (Owen 162). Encapsulate the event of one wonderful frosty morning such a typical event. The photograph with the leaf in it the right amount of exposure of light on and around the leaf. The lower left and upper left corner to show multiple leafs and of the same ranging in color. “To home in the drops, take some macro close-ups at a shutter speed of 1/500 sec. drops clinging to surfaces add glistening and puddles after a rain shower”(Owen 162). Even though I wasn’t taking pictures of rain the idea still was quite helpful.

Questions:

What could make the photo better? Would a different mode have a better affect?
