A red deer stag in a pine forest during a blizzard – This image represented some of the most challenging conditions that I’ve worked in as a photographer. Minutes earlier the scene was completely snow free but a brief highland storm blew through and within minutes the scene was transformed, carpeting everything including my camera and lens in wet snow. Under these circumstances checking exposures can be a challenge but with a dark subject against an all-white background a significant amount of over-exposure is usually required, sometimes up to +2EV. When I captured this image I wasn’t aware of the importance, or usefulness or checking my histogram to scrutinise the accuracy of my exposures and having given the back of screen only a cursory glance a number of these deer images ended up under-exposed, not significantly but irritatingly. Now however I know that having the pixels right up to, but not climbing the right hand side of the histogram will ensure that the snow is rendered as white, its traditional colour, and not the kind of murky grey that it becomes when an image is underexposed. Of course this will only be a guide and the final critical adjustments of 1/3 EV or -1/3EV either way will be left to the photographer as to how he/she wants the final image to look but as a rule when shooting under these circumstances I do like the snow to look quite bright and white and so I do shoot with the pixels right up to the right hand side. This is how the histogram is with this image and so this can be used as a guide. Of course, if our dim-witted tabloid media are to be believed then the UK is in for the mother of all winters, though I’ll believe it when I see it, and so hopefully you’ll all get plenty of practice shooting in these kind of marginal, but transformative conditions.
