4.Snow Scenes

a.Many cases of problems occur with reflected light measuring methods due to snow surface glare. Using incident light measurement eliminates these concerns. Freshly fallen snow possesses a reflectivity of approximately 73%, while even after several days in urban areas, this declines only to about 60%. Compensation must therefore be performed. Measurement by standard method

is reduced by Example:

Note 1 :

Note:2:

Reduce as much as possible since overexposed snow can take on a flour -like appearance without luster in the finished photograph.

compensation amount is based on the re-

flectivity value of snow. This may vary according to snow quality and soiling.
