I love Northumberland's landscapes, their mix of human intervention and natural beauty is just stunning. I put together two very different moods here:


Bamburgh Castle at sunset


Spittal's Pier

Both images taken with Hasselblad X1D II, Hasselblad XCD 30mm and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters. Thank you for viewing and commenting, best regards

Which filters did you use? ND, grad ND, etc. Thanks.

Question: this is supposed to show white snow. Settings were:



I had one attempt at adjusting 1 of 4 images that all look very blue on Auto White Balance. Adj. attempt below which still looks wrong:

Snow is a challenge. Exposure meter wants to under expose so use exposure compensation to override that. Try manual white balance controls as well, and check whether your Auto WB is off (many cameras have Auto WB adjustments that can become "de-centered" by accident.

Was this late in the day? Maybe the snow was not white. I do not use Phocus, however, if you want to do a Zoom call, I can show you what I do with Lightroom.

Take the "neutralisation tool" dropper and put it on the snow and it should make it neutral, after that you can use the exposure controls to make it (near) white instead of grey
