Iceland pictures with landscape of snow and icy waterfalls under a grey sky

Hi,

has someone suggestions how I can get a better look to my pictures made during my Iceland trip.

I was unlucky to have a rather grey sky on all my snow landscape pictures this together with the frozen waterfalls which also look grey. Only the cliffs add some colour to the pictures.

I tried different filters but could find a satisfying solution.

Is the only solution to change the pictures to B&W?

Regards,

Dirk

  Hello Dirk,
  The reference of a Iightmeter is 18% grey. The effect is that when you photograph both a black and a white surface the photos will look the same. They are respectivaly over and under exposed.
  I understand that you have quite lot of snow in your pictures. That means that They should have taken with 1-2 stops over eposure (maybe you already did, I don’t know). What could help is that in Develop you pull the exposure slider to the right. With a bit of luck the snow will then turn white.

  Regards,
  Martin
