How To Take Pictures Against Snow How to have that snow really white? I use a Canon EOS 10D. Also how to have the subject well lighted?

Meter off something neutral and your snow will come out white. If no such object is available, follow these guidelines: For cloudy conditions or in shade, a warming filter will cut some of the blue-cast that your snow will have in these scenarios. With digital, you can see the results immediately, and make adjustments to get it just right. With film, it's wise to use the guidelines above, and bracket exposures.

The easiest way is to meter off an 18-percent gray card. If you don't have a gray card, use the one the Lord provided you. Meter off the palm of your hand. It will give you about the same reading as a gray card. The meter will read your hand as 18% gray and things lighter than your hand (snow) will come out lighter (white). Don't worry about the reference to gray if you are using color film. The principle is the same regardless.

Or keep it really simple and set a +1 exposure compensation factor for brighter images. IF the camera does not produce correct exposure when you use Evaluative metering. Cheers! Peter
