Meal at the Big Easy must have included the appropriate libations!😁 Haha, thanks Ken. Posting at this size covers a lot of technical issues. I like my night shots to be much lighter but this is far too noisy. I'll go back for another try with tripod when I have a chance, it's not far from home. The Crossrail reference is a bit of a local joke here where many of the stations are built, like this one, but the rest is running years late so there are no trains running yet. I didn't eat at the Big Easy but I came home and enjoyed most of my second to last (half) bottle of the Suduiraut! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert, I like the light and shade in this snow scene, but it does betray a slight exposure problem. Some fresh snow should look 'white'. I copied it to LR - Develop module AUTO exposure adjusted the whites and tweaked colour temperature. Now we'll see whether my suggested changes show. I did not sharpen it so some definition might be lost in the process. Edited January 21, 2020 by wda 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll see that the snow is light gray, blue, black, and off white. I have lived on the plains for 73 years. When our totally pure bright blue early morning skies are blue our snow is blue. Light Room is irrelevant in this case. If the conditions are the same tomorrow morning I’ll lay a white pillow case on the tinted snow. I ran a company that clad major buildings with exterior panels. Architects would call me and tell me that my panels were not the chosen color. I would bring an approved sample and all matched. Every side of the building was a different color. It’s all about reflectance. I taught this to many high profile architects. I had to teach this two or three times a year for thirty-five years.

But once sunlight passes through snow, some wavelengths are absorbed, some aren't. Snow can look blue because all of the other wavelengths of light are absorbed, and blue is what is left for us to see.Jan 28, 2010 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, my main criticism was less to do with colour than exposure. It is common for exposure meters to get it wrong when faced with overall whiteness or blackness. (When shooting snow, which is less often nowadays, I add +2/3 EV or more to allow for the meter errors. It is trying to make the snow look like 18% grey. I prefer it nearer the white point). That is what I see in your original picture; greyness if you want that, or whiteness with minor adjustments. Whatever, it is worth knowing how to correct it if you want white snow in your pictures. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have to say, if the architects you were dealing with didn't know about context, reflectivity, and light - then they weren't high profile. They were hacks. Or as usual, they were egomaniacs trying to impose their "vision" where it doesn't belong. Sorry. You're post hit a nerve. I've experienced similar things. On the other hand, some vendors cut corners, and try to gaslight their clients. . . /shrug 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The large firms usually sent the low man on the totem pole to the Midwest. Or people that want to prove a point to their bosses. Or to the vendors, or whomever. Establish dominance, sub dominance, and subservience. I can't count the number of times I've dealt with people that couldn't design their way out of a paper bag but pretended to be gods gift to design while making uninformed decisions. Meanwhile, all the rest of us are trying to do what's best for the client while juggling egos along with budget and timeframe.
