Friday, March 3, 2023, Conway Scenic operated a plow extra from North Conway to Attitash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sky was a clear azure dome; the snow a blazing white blanket. I exposed my photos using Nikon Z-Series cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Establishing correct exposure was tricky, especially when the plow was backlit against a dark wall of leaf-less trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the most part I handled exposure by placing the exposure setting dial in automatic-aperture priority (‘A’ mode) then manipulated the +\/- exposure compensation control to make adjustments. The challenge was retaining detail in the snow while maintain good overall exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In post processing, I adjusted the RAW-NEF file to maximize highlight and shadow detail in order to display greater amounts of infomation than exhibited by the in-camera Jpg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
