Photography tips on winter garden photos – free images

Here are some photos of frost which I took early in the morning to capture some winter images.   I was using a wide aperture to throw the background out of focus and for the grass images I was shooting into the sun to make the frost sparkle.

If you try this is you might find that frost like snow can fool your camera’s meter into thinking the scene is lighter than it is so your pictures may come out dark.  Using exposure compensation of one and a half stops usually works but the easy way is to just keep checking your histogram.

If you would rather use one of myimages than capture your own please contact me and I will send you a copy without the copyright logo. All I ask is that, where possible, you include a link back to this site please.

  1. Alison, what a great idea! This is great for keen novices like me xx

  2. That’s great! I love the grass pics.
    I was thinking that I’d like to put some pictures on Twitter of seasonal flowers. Could I use the one of the Sedum (brown seedhead)? Not sure how to post pictures… any ideas? Do you use flickr? Anyway, I can put a link for you in – also don’t know how to do this but I’m sure one of the girls can help…

  3. I will resurrect my Flickr account Franzi and let you know.
