Let Vladimir teach you how to do justice to these unique seasonal conditions. Learn what to look out for when exposing for snow, and how to adjust your settings to capture perfect winter moments. | | |

| | HINTS AND TIPS. | | Vladimir Medvedev shares his advice on how to capture winter at its best. |
| | | | | Start local
Get outside as soon as it’s light and shoot frost or snow close to home. | |
|
| | | | | | | | | Ignore the weather
All conditions present opportunities for exciting images – even heavy snowfall. | |
|
| | | | | | | | | Overexpose for snow
Overexposing snow stops it looking dull. Just don’t overexpose so much that you lose detail. | |
|
| | | | | | | | | Look for simple silhouettes
A fresh blanket of snow isolates features in a landscape, making them more prominent in an image. | |
|
| | | | | | | | | Go wide for winter skies
Make the best of dramatic winter skies by shooting with a wide-angle lens. | |
