landscape to photograph a train in. In a snow covered rail yard or landscape, shad- owed areas will also be brightened by the re- flector effect of light bouncing off the snow. And bright colored locomotives like yellow, orange, and red will “stand out” in a snowy landscape. Trains plowing through fresh powdery snow present a dramatic look, as do fast trains causing billowing clouds of snow to swirl around as they race down the tracks. Heavy falling “oatmeal” snow is al- ways very dramatic, as is the period of clear- ing after a blizzard when lineside bushes, trees and power poles are plas- tered with the white stuff. And an early or late day low angle sun casting long shadows on a snow landscape can add contrast and interest to your railroad subject. A minor problem with photog- raphy in snow landscapes is an off-color cast. In shadowed areas on sunny days, snow can have a bluish cast in a photo caused by the reflection of the blue sky. With film, the solution is to use a warm- ing filter over the lens. With digi- tal, use your camera’s white bal- ance (WB) function.
And
underexposure caused by the me- ter reading the overly bright snow can create grayish snow. Alternately, if you use Photo- shop or similar image processers, you can correct the color cast digi- tally. With the image open, go into LEVELS, and using the white point eyedropper tool at the bottom right of the LEVELS box, click on the whitest spot in the photo. This will readjust the gray snow in the image, and can also adjust other off-color casts, although you may need to experiment here a bit with
your click point to get the right color correc- tion. Another Photoshop technique is to use the HUE & SATURATION controls to desaturate the blue and/or cyan channels, as long as you are not adversely affecting a nice blue sky or other wanted blue colors in the scene.
Cold Weather Problems
An important consideration is your camera’s function in extremely cold temperatures. Cold temps reduce camera battery output, and the lower the temperature, the quicker your battery(s) will loose power, although
