That ensures that the snow will appear white with detail. If you try to shoot on manual, your light meter is going to try to turn the snow gray and your subject black. It's based on Ansel Adams' zone system, and I shoot all my snow pics that way. |
Ah ha, Thank you for the tip. I really want to learn more about my manual settings. We don't have any more snow but I am still going to play with this one way or another....
