Exposure for Snow Scenes Is a neutral density filter necessary for snow scenes? If using a ND filter is it necessary to slow the shutter speed down from the recommended TTL meter setting? Which type of pro film is best for snow scenes?

The ND filter is not necessary for snow scenics if you understand that the bright white of the snow can fool your in-camera meter, and try to turn the snow to a neutral gray. Meter off a neutral colored object which receives the same light as the scene you are shooting, then recompose and shoot at that setting. If no such object is available, meter off the snow and open 1 1/2 to 2 stops.

For white,yellow,pink,most light colours I will overexpose by 1/2 to 1.5 stops it is really simple to do!!!!

Overexpose is to use a larger aperture (smaller f number) or expose longer (smaller number).
