Just Started in Photography and this is the first shot I've ever taken in snow. I'm Not too happy with the results and was having a tough time with snow glare and exposure. Any Advise would be helpful

Hi, I think the composition of the shot is a little wrong. I would use a wider lens (18mm or lower if you have it) and get right up close to the object you are taking the picture of. No need to put the subject in the middle of the frame.

It looks to me like you've committed a very common novice mistake. You've concentrated so much on your subject (the car) that you haven't given much thought to the background.

[djfriedman81]

How would you advise framing this shot? as to take consideration of the background?

[Sterling]

Well, I'll assume that you don't have another lens with a wider angle and I'll assume you can't move around the car and find a more pleasing background. Based on these assumptions the only thing you could do is open up the aperture in order to blur the background and make it less noticeable.

Sorry to see your car like that!

I think you should learn the rules of the 3rd, that would definitely help your photography skills. Don't focus to much on the subject, focus more of the whole photo.

thank you everyone for your help....you have provided me with much to think about...besides getting the car out!!
