[QUOTE="naja, post: 10246, member: 3478"] If you can set your own White Balance then do, but otherwise go for Shady or Haze or Cloudy, one of the highest settings. Over expose by 1.3 stops as a start but check the histogram as you may have to over expose more or less depending on the specific setting. A Polarizing filter will be a big help and if the sun is bright then the snow acts as a really good reflector to bounce light back into the shadows. Don't go under trees or anything that can throw a shadow pattern over the subject; it looks terrible. Shoot in Raw and you will have the best chance of pulling out some great shots. Go for a High Key effect as you have the perfect situation for it. Good luck Most importantly - ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE!!! [/QUOTE]
