tonight it is snowing here in moseslake Wa. thinking about taking a picture when i get enough snow gigggle
 
> thinking about taking a picture...

OK, well when you actually take the picture, THEN come back and post a message about it, and include the photo. ;)
 
I'm looking forward to your photos. Photo tip: Check your camera for special scene functions there might be one there for snow. Ask your your teacher about what is special about shooting snow photos. Hint: you'll want to slightly over expose the photo because your camera will want to make the picture darker.
 


my camera is charge the battery right now so i have to wait to put the pictures on here of the little snow that we have
 
Penny, you're right, the first photo is too dark, and it's blurry. That's fine, they don't all work. However, here's a tip... When you have to say "UH, well, it's dark and blurry" then you probably don't want to show that one to people. There are a few exceptions, like if the photo is of Bigfoot, and it's the only photo you got, but generally speaking, if they don't work, you just tuck them away and try again.

The second photo looks good, the exposure is OK, maybe touch dark, and it's in focus. So you've got the technical stuff close, maybe need a bit more fine tuning.
So what is the photo lacking? A subject! There's really not a lot to look at, other than the snow. Your eye kind of wanders around the photo, looking at the grass, the driveway, the house, trying to find something of interest.

Take some more practice shots to get your exposure dialed in even closer, and then try to find a subject. Some kids throwing snowballs. A tree covered in snow. A snowman. Something of interest to catch people's eye.
 
im trying to work with the camera more too. this is interesting day too . im hoping to see kids outside playing in the snow i hope do you think i should do a closer up the camera on that too
 


Penny, practicing is great! Very few people have every shot they take turn out well. That's all part of the learning process. If you're learning and experimenting, you will have shots that just plain didn't work the way you wanted them too. That's OK. Just realize that sometimes you have to say "I guess I shouldn't really show that one to everybody, it didn't work..."
 
im going to take a other picture tomorrow and see if kids are building snowballs around the block. right now the snow is to soft and it isnt hard enough to make a snowman
 
Take a look at Chito's photos, they give you some other ideas to try with the snow. There's a lot of possibilities out there.
 
we have a bunch of snow now. the snow is drifting all over the place now. i will take more picture tomorrow . the snow is falling fast too
