[QUOTE="John!, post: 10236, member: 2489"] Hi there, from one "manitobanite" to another. It all depends on the lighting conditions. Preferable use a custom white balance setting. If it is a clear bright sunny day, you will get a fair bit of blue sky reflecting on the snow. Another thing to remember is that if there is a lot of snow in the scene the cameras exposure meter will try to actually underexpose the photo. (It doesn't know that it's looking at snow). To compensate for this, you may need to overexpose by 1 or 2 stops. Spot metering on something 18% grey will ensure proper exposure. Also using a polarizing filter will reduce the glare, and will make the sky a nice shade of blue [/QUOTE]
