Snow Scape On Chrome Ridge
Photograph by Ozzie Cummins
Ozzie writes about his image:
“My photo was taken in the morning on Chrome Ridge about 20 miles directly west of Grants Pass. It had snowed the night before and was very cold, leading to nice light fluffy snow. So I set out early to get a nice drive in light snow (something I love doing in my Jeep), and perhaps get some good snow shots.”
“Snow was lightly falling and the storm started to break, with some sun beginning to shine through the clouds. I used my Nikon d750 with a 28-300 mm lens at 28mm. I set the exposure to f/8.0, ISO 100, and an Exposure Compensation of -0.33EV. Knowing snow shots, left to the light meter, will tend to be grey, but the sunny spots will over expose, I used a shutter speed of 1/500 sec, and an EV of -0.33 to properly expose this light-tricky shot.”
Congratulations, Ozzie, on your beautiful photo! Look for Ozzie’s image soon in the Daily Courier!
