It snows less and less often in the Netherlands, so when it does snow again, you should make the most of it as a photographer. We have written about snow photography many times before. In this article, I have collected the best articles.

The best-known problem with snow photos is that your camera automatically underexposes them. So you need to correct for this.

Find out how it works in this article by Nando about correct exposure for snow photos.


Discover 7 practical tips for snow photos in this article, or read these tips for better snow photos by Liesbeth.

Nando recently wrote these 10 tips for fantastic snowy landscapes.

Would you rather not leave the house in these weather conditions? You can also turn your photos into wintry images at home, behind your computer.

For example, with a studio photo as a starting point. You can add snow afterwards in Photoshop, or work with fake snow.


Enjoy it and photograph it!

    I find this quite educational, especially if you're just starting out with taking digital photos. (As a hobby)
    What I do notice is that many people want to go for a perfect picture.
    For me, beautiful and good is what I first want to be able to do well again.

    In the past, taking photos with an SLR and a roll of film was different. I've come to realize that by now.
