So the January cold is upon us with a few flurries of snow in Aldershot & Farnham already. A few flutterings a few days ago had Rosie jumping up and down and wishing it was thick snow when we open the curtains in the morning.
The snow gets us all out for some fresh air with our Families-Mums, Dads, Children, Dogs and Friends.
A PERFECT time to capture some family images altogether
(listen to the groan from my family…not again Mum)
So get out there…..woolly hats, scarves,mittens, gloves, sledges, flasks of tea, doggies & all!
The snow is a perfect reflector making everything bright and lovely, much like the beach, and using your mobile phone is such an easy way to photograph. Your mobile will have a setting for snow/beach which will help with the brightness.
Top Tips for photos in the snow:
1. Get there early if possible as you won’t have so many people behind you in your images.
2. Bundle on those hats scarves and gloves-the colours will look great against the snow.
3. Get faces really close together and focus on the eyes.
4. Tap on the faces on your screen to correct exposure.
5. Turn off your flash or……
6. Use the ‘fill flash’ setting for a little eye sparkle.
7. Take photos of snow angels!
8. ALSO… film the children sledging
9. SMILE!!! It won’t snow again until next year.
10. Please print your images…I practise what I preach.
Places we love to go to sledge in Farnham, Guildford & Surrey……..
Good parking, a gentle hill so good for little ones
Brilliant views and a cafe for hot chocolate after.
Quite a steep hill so perfect for bigger children
Free parking
Gentle hill and usually really busy
Have fun in the snow when it comes with your friends, family & fluffy ones.
