I have a few Photography websites of my own and I must say that your blog is really good. Keep up the great work on a really high class resource. I Love winter photography and for most of us, even the thought of capturing on camera, a great shot of an idyllic winter scene is heartwarming and at the same time mind-numbingly depressing. We all know through bitter experience that a winter photography shot we thought of as perfect, might as well in fact be tossed in the garbage can. One really helpful trick that I learned for winter photography is to meter for something other than the snow.

Although I live in NC where there isn't much snow, it makes me want to live back up North to take some winter shots. Great pictures!

Like Gene I too bracket my images in the snow & sun. Battery life's a problem here in the Northeast US with its cold. However I still get some excellent winter shots. Thanks and all the best! Victor Excellent Article Roy!

I always bracket the exposure on my snow shots so that I can capture the full range, or gamut, of light. I sometimes use a warming filter to soften the blue haze one can get at higher altitudes. I make a mask in PS to compensate for exposure levels in the highlights, and to lighten up the shadows. For example, when I shoot a landscape with a barn, if I expose for the snow, the shadows in barn are too dark and underexposed. If I expose for the barn, the highlights in the snow are blown out.

Keeping your spare batteries inside your clothing is a good way, as close to your skin as possible to maximize body heat, as the cold will such the life right out of them.
