Wonderful West Virginia – January 2011 Issue
The January 2011 issue of Wonderful West Virginia is now available and I am pleased to have several of my photographs included on the cover and inside the magazine. The cover photo shows Middle Island Creek and was taken at Little in Tyler County. A few days before Christmas 2009 we had a beautiful snowfall which stuck to the trees for several days which is unusual for our area. I tried to capitalize on that opportunity. Inside the magazine several photos (see below) are included in the Gallery and elsewhere. It’s important to avoid overexposing snow and losing detail in the image. Conversely, the white of the snow can fool a camera’s meter into underexposing the scene and rendering the snow dull and grayish. Setting your camera to overexpose the scene by one stop is a good starting point in most instances. Digital cameras have made it easier for photographers as you can read the histogram after taking a picture to determine if your exposure is correct.
