Wonders of Active D-Lighting



First Snow, originally uploaded by jjvornov.

I found just a few moments before sunset to capture a few images of our first snow of the year in Baltimore. The D300’s metering was right on although the snow was rendered very blue by the Auto White Balance.

Oddly, I had trouble with white balance on uploading to Flickr, a problem I’ve never had before. Usually I get a good color match between Aperture and Flickr on the calibrated monitor.

Also oddly, Flickr made Picnik available today for editing photographs for the first time today and I was able to reset the white balance on line to something reasonable. Perhaps something in Flickr has changed, affecting whitebalance or embedded profiles. Snow is clearly a very sensitive subject when it comes to white balance.
