How to Take Pictures in the Snow: How to get the Perfect Exposure In "3 Shots Or Less" #07

[@brianbrooking496]

Cause and Effect.... love it Jared..... that second arm for the bobble head will come in handy.

[@NicholasinDallas]

I like how you started with using the camera meter to address the people saying that you should just use auto metering. Yes, spot metering will be more accurate than evaluative, but I like to see you setting up the shot manually to get it right. It reminds me of my old math classes, where we had to show our work.

[@mart1an42]

Ah Jared. Watching you sometimes can be painful because we know that one day you are going to give yourself a heart attack. But I keep watching you because when you get into technical details and reviews you are one of the best out there. This series - Perfect Exposure in 3 shots or less - is one of the best tutorials on the Internet. Keep on jammin'.

[@Bloggerky]

Thanks. If my recollection is right, in earlier videos, you shot in manual so that you started out without knowing what the camera's metering system would suggest. Here, you started out with a metered result, presumably because it's well understood that cameras generally underexpose in snow and you wanted to show that the meter isn't always right. And since the meter isn't always right, as photographers we are called upon to THINK about what's going on, and not just assume the camera will always nail it. Useful series.

[@gilleslefebvre5426]

merci my friend for all….you are a professional pro prof.... easy to learn with you

[@MrForcats]

Published two days into spring. Marketing genius!

[@michaelroach3553]

Tab, You can't shoot a snow photo tutorial with no snow. Fro's in PA and I'm in WV. We just had snow. You can blame the weather or just attempt to be less of a douche?

[@brentdrafts2290]

My little Fro-man-bobble fell over and needed a repair similarly. Cute scarf. Maybe a gaffer jacket?

[@adamsabaz2415]

My D5600 has a 'beach and snow' mode. It's awesome! No fussing about!

[@waynebelfast]

Fro, would you do a video explaining how you can comfortably squat for that long? :)

[@RobertLoyale]

lol I'd imagine that he would say something like "situps, push ups and plenty of juice"...

[@jamesmcneil800]

Thanks, I am now on my way to shoot at 10:00 in bright sunlight in thick snow. Thanks!!

[@RobertLoyale]

The How to get out of Auto course was the best. 100% will make you a better photographer. 11 Days to Better Photography should be even better.

[@xyz49271]

I have the LUX light meter app on my iPhone (not sure if theres an android version) in situations like snow or shooting bright sunlit scenes from the shade it is far better than the cameras meter in any mode. Its cheaper & more convenient than a separate light meter as well.

[@fritzlanbin9412]

Seeing the histogram of the first shot at 2:12 can help you to get the perfect exposure in the 2nd shot already. Looking at the peek between the midtown and the highlight bar, reveals that the snow should be in the whites, close to clipping. The distance is a bit more than a full stop. My next exposure choice would have been 1/800s.

[@gk8644]

If you shoot raw, would this be like a few clicks afterwards on your pc?

[@boysherman]

A timely lesson for the beginning of spring. Haha!

[@chrischan5168]

Royston Kane Australian​ photographers will be all over this.

[@markgotzman8246]

here in phill (where fro is) we got like a foot of snow the other day. pa weather is crazy and we get snow in spring

[@chrischan5168]

Mark Gotzman same here in the UK tbf.

[@chrisogrady28]

Royston Kane I just climbed Ben Nevis today (the tallest mountain in the British isles) and it was snowing a blizzard the whole time, and everything above 500ft was covered in snow. I had all my gear with me and took photos the whole time. So yes, it can be relevant to certain locations

[@boysherman]

IT's called sarcasm folks. I understand Jared took advantage of a late winter snowstorm to do a free instructional video and that the NY area is not the center of the world.

[@ultraniusmaximus1536]

I hear that adjusting your exposure compensation would work as well. Is that a possibility, and if so, how would that affect the shutter speed, aperture, or ISO settings?

[@nogismyname]

can you do long exposures in either night or day pleaaaase

[@gaza4543]

Yes you have to get an ND filter for the day time, but can still be hard just depends how bright it is out side

[@lucaspierson2521]

I watch your videos every now and then. Just had an idea, you should make an video about what makes bad photos and what not to do while taking photos in various scenarios and call it "FroNosPhoto".

[@PatrickDurocher]

usually in the snow, depending on where the sun is relative to your lens, a +2.0 EV will do the trick.

[@jamesnelson1443]

Thx that is so helpful

[@ChristineHan1]

What settings do I use to photograph snowfall. I want to have snowfall photos.

[@souradeepdebnath]

Sir please make a video in dark area #3ShotsOrLess.. Plz sir...

[@kazbleasdale1310]

Thanks for another great lesson.

[@danwaldie4661]

Great video. I'd like to see a lesson on how to shoot still life without studio lights. Just using available light from window.

[@filmsbypanda]

Can you do a 3 shot or less using speed lights! Thanks, Alex Segura

[@step2191]

good lesson!

[@michaelbarbee1401]

how about one using off camera flash?

[@MoranGuyVideos]

Jared, thanks again for the great video .... I hope you come someday to israel and I will have the chance to meet you

[@the_sandancer]

Great informative video!

[@TJSinghVideos]

i guess we can also use nd filter.

[@PostBoyMD]

Could you please do Sunsets?

[@debo2uisdead]

I do artwork on a small scale. If wanted exposure for my work from you what do I need to do?

[@FlyersNation98]

Jared, in the case of shooting wildlife (in my case mostly deers), with snow, foggy whitty atmosphere, quite often at 400_600mm range (coupled to a D500), I have to have a high aperture speed. So I'm often at 1/1000 sec or more. What would you be your advice for proper exposure? Using high ISO will create noise. Should I overexpose a bit? Thanks!

[@jawa011]

Its almost April. Thank you so much. -.-

[@markgotzman8246]

do one on at a concert/low light

[@RJMaker]

Another great lesson. You need to 'shoot' however installed those Rheem (?) units behind you.. :~0

[@dborato1]

How about 3 exposures in harsh sun???

[@souradeepdebnath]

And also tell me sir is nikon d5200 is good for me.. Am in class 10 and am 17 years old.... Plz help me out...

[@pushkarvishwakarma8458]

S.D Entertainment check my profile in Instagram @the.olympus.guy_ and see what camera I use.

[@souradeepdebnath]

Pushkar Vishwakarma i started following you... Nice photography sir

[@pushkarvishwakarma8458]

don't call me sir my age is also same as what of yours

[@souradeepdebnath]

Pushkar Vishwakarma oh...

[@Lofote]

How can anybody tell you that camera is good for you, without knowing what and how you want to shoot!?

[@oo0RECON0oo]

Try doing that with a flash

[@memetron3556]

amezing bro .

[@supercatman1]

well... this would have been nice like a month ago when i did a mini photoshoot for my friend.

[@LauraLeeX777]

Fro Knows Snow-tos.

[@dunnymonster]

Laura Lee Woods Damn...you beat me to it lol ^ _ ^

[@PURP_PLAYS]

this is way to late its already spring LOL ....

[@Lofote]

How to find it in no shot? Get your modern SLT or mirrorless, use A or M or any mode you like and adjust the exposure compensation dial until your viewfinder shows the snow as white :-D Done. DSLRs make so many things complicated :-D

[@hardrockjimi]

dpcriss, SLT and mirrorless cameras have full time live exposure preview aka WYSIWYG. DUH! Come on genius. ; )

[@Lofote]

@dpcriss: A beginner should not buy a DSLR, but a modern camera. Easy as that. You can learn much easier with an EVF.

[@Lofote]

well then, lets all drop digital photography, just because many learned it in the film days... Doh :-D EVFs help a lot for the beginner. (By the way, does not have to be mirrorless, you can of course get a DSLT) Jared is very stubborn in many things I have to say. He thinks that there is only one way in many things, very absolute... THats just the way he is... ;)

[@Lofote]

@dpcriss: well you are wrong... I am a photographer loving modern tech. DSLT is just one possibility, of course you can also work with Fuji X. Olympus also makes pretty innovative cameras. Etc. Plus why should a user of brand X only watch videos from other photographers that use brand X? Makes no sense. Strange, how you think ;)...

[@Lofote]

By the way, a camera with an EVF can actually help you to see that you are making blurry pictures due to long shutter speed. You are aware that you can automatically playback the last shot? Helps a lot, you also see if the model just blinked etc. Can save you LOTS of time and make more shots work :)

[@Noksus]

Has anyone else noticed that Jared's videos _on average_ get around 15k views while he has over 600k subs? Why is that? Only about 3% of his subs watch his videos?

[@cheesescientist]

'fewer'

[@marekdorcik]

Jared! You are showing us the Jpegs booo lol

[@froknowsphoto]

+marekdorcik that's the back of the camera.

[@PaganiTypeR]

how to get perfect exposure: buy mirrorless. What you see through EVF - you get, Literally. Snow might throw off the sensors, but it can't fool human eye.

[@davorrozic9217]

Melectro every dslr has live view. You can check out your exposure, then use the viewfinder to get the shot 🤷‍♂️

[@mavfan1]

Another one where a mirrorless camera would allow you to get it right in one shot.

[@froknowsphoto]

another comment where i bet the person making it couldn't get the proper exposure in three shots without a crutch.

[@michaelroach3553]

The douche-factor is strong with mavfan1

[@OutlawFarmersRC]

Technology is not a crutch. How is it people think that the harder it is to get the desired results, the better you are. Get real man. The end results is what matters. If harder is better. by all means do a 3 shot with a 35mm or better yet a Fuji Instax camera.

[@KingCanon]

LATE!!!!!!!!!
