If you follow me on Instagram, you might've seen this photo I posted a few weeks ago on the second day of Spring of some cherry blossoms covered in snow. It was a sublime scene and one of my favorites that I've taken this year but it's also a little unsettling at the same time because this should not be happening. And then it snowed again this past Monday on the second day of April which bummed me out in more ways than one since the Yankees had to postpone their home opener due to the weather. Anyway this gave me a chance to do a photo study of the cherry blossoms in the snow. We have a lovely garden downstairs in our complex and there is this one tree that always blooms before the others. I hope it's more Spring-like wherever you are. Sure there's no such thing as global warming...
Pro tip for shooting snow: Underexpose by a quarter to half stop to compensate for the stark brightness the white color of the snow creates especially if your scene is backlit. This will help preserve the details as well as prevent your photos from being blown out.
