Snow is not an easy task

[Cfer4]

don't know why but it's been some time since my last visit.
Snow shots are always complicate for me.
Original is RAW.

Any ideas /suggestions?

TIA

Carlos

Your gear is great and I don't know what was done to this image or what you had in mind when you processed it.

Are you shooting jpeg or RAW? If jpeg, your in camera settings are off. If RAW, set your White Balance.

Image is to small and we need original.

The camera is trying to read the white of they snow as gray. Exposure compansation is key here. Either manually or set in the camera. If snow (or anything white) is overwhelming in your composition, you need to be shooting 1.5 to 2 stops above what the camera thinks you should be shooting at.

You might be able to fix this image in Lightroom or Photoshop, or at least make it better.

Not really clear on the problem you want to fix. Is it the white balance? Here's the same image with the white balance, and exposure, corrected (not really sure what else you would want to fix). If you wanted yellow snow, then it's a simple exposure fix to brighten it up. WB & E followed by E only.

Very nice picture... i like it better with the yellow tint.

Many thanks to all of you who have dedicated some time just for looking the shot or even comment on it.

The problem of being an amateur is, IMHO, than I at leat don't know when something is right or not. Maybe it's like the wine, I know the ones I loved, I know the ones I hate.

Sometimes I know what I like but don't know if it's "the correct" way.
Possibly there are more than one proper way or even more the correct one is the shooter's point of view.

I post this one as an example of this doubts.

regards and thnaks

Either correct white balance or artist interpretation on this shot looks good to me.

Sorry about the RAW question, meds are late today. But I'm still not sure how you got where you were.

My 5D wouldn't have messed up like that.

What is "right" is a purely personal decision that only you can determine. LD gave you as it was, as well as the yellow cast that you posted. You pick, not us.
