Majestic Lake Arrowhead

Shooting in the snow, I recently learned, is not easy.  Because the white of the snow reflects so much light, you really have to compensate by minimizing the amount of light you let in the lens.  So you really need to take your time to adjust your aperture and shutter speed accordingly.  Keep in mind that you might have to change the settings for each shot, depending on where the sun is reflecting and what you are trying to shoot.  Have fun experimenting...
