Question for you!
How did you manage to get a shutter speed of 1/500 with those other camera settings? Is the light stronger than I think it is?

Hi Reijo,

You are right, normally snow would never need these settings, my
D80 is set to center weighted meter and I metered off the bright white
spot in the water.

At that exposure the snow of course would be really dark and thats
the beauty of the midtone slider to lighten up the snow. This photo would
be impossible to do in-camera jpeg as the bright white spot in the water
would have been to far clipped or the snow would be to dark.

This is the reason why I switched to RAW to get a better tone curve.

Take care,

Dwayne Oakes
