Snowy Farm
Driving from Fort Ashby, WV to Morgantown to shoot the WVU-USF basketball game I was hoping to capture a few good photographs, but the weather was not cooperating. As I drove I-68 the skies were overcast with occasional snow squalls. Fortunately, as I entered West Virginia the overcast gave way to bright sunshine, blue skies and puffy white clouds. I took the Bruceton Mills exit and hurriedly searched for a subject. My time was limited, but I managed to take several shots in 45 minutes. When photographing a scene in which snow is prevalent it is usually necessary to set your camera to overexpose the scene by approximately one stop to avoid the snow appearing gray rather than white. The panorama photo below is a composite of six vertical images.
