Here are tips and techniques about taking better photos of snow scenes. Discover the best times of day to shoot and how to deal with the colour, shape and texture of snow.

In sunlit conditions it's even more important to avoid over-exposing images. Set the exposure while framing a bright area, compensate by lowering the EV value, or use spot metering. If your camera offers a histogram, use it to make sure no part of the image is overexposed. Be careful not to under-expose so your snow looks white, not too gray.
