Tips to enhance winter photography

So here are few tips which would help to enhance winter photography.

Silhouette in Snow

Snow can give a blank canvass on which the silhouettes and many other forms could be considered in a outstanding manner. This outcome is best when there is large area of smooth terrain, broken by few dark figures. The dramatic lone shapes and minimalist compositions rule here. These images are best in black and white, which emphasizes on high contrast.

Grayish Atmosphere

If you live at the place where it doesn’t snow, then it doesn’t signify that you don’t have any chance to take winter photos. Wherever it is gray, one can easily create an image which demonstrates the melancholy of winter atmosphere. Black & white style is a good thought, though the delicate colorations might also create the beautiful photograph.

Icicles

They are the best feature of winters. Icicles are the aspect that is quite spectacular to photography. Sometimes they are difficult to focus on digital camera so a manual one would be a good option.

Cool waters

The grays and cool blues of winter give themselves to amazing tones in the water. Get up in the morning and find out a lake, a river.

Play

There are many different sports that are played in winters. It would require sports photography as you would be photographing the fast movements. Photographing of playing children would require same skills as in winter sports photography. It requires a good sense of timing, a fast shutter speed and some patience.

Wintry mess

Observe all the possible ways by which winters can affect the human life. You can use plenty of colors; you can highlight the colors against black and white background.

Snowstorm

To click snowfall images, one needs a dark background so that the snowflakes could be seen

Ice crystals

Snow and ice crystals build splendid macros, single snow crystals either fallen on snow or any other surface, would be beautiful to capture. One need to be proficient enough in macro skills and one also needs macro lens.

Animal life

Animals which are more active in winters are not easily seen. One needs wildlife photography techniques to capture it. Observe patiently for all these signs and click them as fast as you can, as it requires a good speed.

Nature

Clicking picture of all the silent places, meadows, forests, mountains can reflect the silent scenes. So here black and white images would reflect things well here. And also the use of colors for highlighting green would be effective.

Michigan Window Tint Laws?

ok, so i want to tint my car windows, because i dont have airconditioning and its for security and i hate the sun in my eyes when i drive. I read the law on a fourm and on MSP website and said any % on all windows behind driver. and only 4 inches down from the top on the front windows.
Now i have been watching 50% of vehicles on the road have fully tinted front windows. INCLUDING my local police and michigan state police.

So can i tint my windows. I have plenty of good reasons. im not trying to hide anything fom the cops. its just hot in my car all the time and summer sun with bright winter snow reflection is BRIGHT!!!!

So what do you think.
At the moment all my windows are clear. I want to do 10% in rear and 20 to 35% in front

Read those laws again. Michigan tickets for perceived heavy window tints, so if you proceed, get documentation from the installer AND from a police unit stating that you're within legal limits. It'll save you a lot of time explaining.
