Is there a way of adjusting for that when you’re taking the picture?

Yes, but you’re camera may not be able to do it. In principle you would want to have full manual control of exposure, such as with a full manual camera like an SLR. You want to expose the shot on the main item of concern (i.e. the plane) If there is a large area of contrasting information in the shot such as snow, sky or suchlike then your average handy snapper will be fooled into evening out the brightest part of the shot and underexposing the dimmest part, which in your case is the plane.

I don’t know which model you have, but a lot of digi cameras have manual over-rides and you should be able to ride the exposure level a little in either direction. It’s worth reading the picture information on the display that you got with the shots you’ve already done and experiment with the exposure readings manually. Look for the f-number and try adjusting by let’s say half stop increments. The higher the f-number the darker it gets and the lower the f-number the brighter it gets.
If you can’t do this with your camera then try keeping the snow out of frame to let the auto exposure work more closely on the subject matter.

More top pics Kevin, I’m looking forward to seeing some Emirates action at GLA in April.

Ah… that crash was Binter Mediterraneos. Are they still owned by Iberia or did the entire group fall into Canarian hands ? Interesting quote from the accident report.. “The pilot erroneously shut down both engines”.

No doubt I’ll be seeing some of their fleet at TFS next week.:D

Great shots WD, those whiteout shots aren’t bad at all, if your camera has auto iris then it’ll underexpose the rest of the picture a little to try and compensate for what it thinks is a big over-exposed area.

But as I say, those aren’t bad at all, I’m hoping to get my own snow collection this week when we get hit by the promised Arctic blast of weather either today or tonight. An interesting aside about Vermont… George Clooney is making a movie just now based in Vermont, except it’s being filmed in and around Glasgow. I guess we share a similar landscape ? 😀

Here’s some I made earlier…:D

You’d never see that on a Catalan airline.
