Hi all
Im New to this site and pretty new to Photography so please go easy if the question im about to ask is daft or stupid.
Here goes. I am going on my anual snowboard holiday to france on the 5th Feb. I have always been int o photography but only recently bought myself a propper camera. I have been reading a few books and looking on the internet and have read that when photographing snow scenes I need to take a general meeter reading and then increase this by two stop so that my picture will not come out grey. Doues this meen that my F-stops want to be going up in number making my apertur smaller or down in number making my aperture larger. Say it I meter at F5.6 does this mean that I need to go the 2.3 way or the 9 and higher way.
Also I will be shooting 35mm slide film and I have heard that I can buy a roll of whatever speed film and push or pull the whole roll. If I buy a 50iso film do I want to bump this up to say 200iso (is that two stops). Or if I buy a 200iso roll do I want to take this down to 50iso in order to get the correct exposure.
Phhheeeewww, glad thats over. Once again sorry if I have totally confused everyone, or anoyed anyone with a dumb question. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Anyway thanks in advance.
By for now
