[QUOTE="BillinAnchorage, post: 14837, member: 4493"] Every photo book I've ever read or class I've taken or my past film experience has all agreed on this idea. A camera light meter thinks white is 18% gray. So that being said you must over expose your "snow" shots up to 1 or 1.5 stops. That use to work for me. Same is said for black but in the other direction. Right? Right! My D90 doesn't think like that in the snow. With no EV compensation it blows the hell out of the snow. I have to -1 to -2 stops to not blow everything out. Saturday I went snow machining with some friends most of my photos were waayyy over exposed. I know HISTOGRAM. But my hands were freezing because it was -5F. This picture kind of came out ok. Just a little frustrated when old "rules" don't apply anymore. I know ... check my metering accuracy .. Sunny 16 ... RAW .. (can fix in raw if its blown out though) ..... yada yada yada .. LOL This is Denali by the way. [/QUOTE]
