We received our first significant snowfall in western Montana today, turning the world around us into pristine white. Photographing all that snow can be a challenge for your camera, though. It makes the snow a dull gray instead of bright white because it doesn't recognize the snow you see. Using +1 or +2 Exposure Compensation ensures your snow will appear pristine in your photograph as well as outside.
