I have found a great tool.. No, this is not my creation.. but I bought one and love it...I think better than a grey card. It is called an expo disk. You simply put it over your lens, point your camera at the available light, not directly at the sun, take a photo then set your White Balance to that photo. This will set your white balance perfectly in just about any situation. http://www.expoimaging.com/product-overview.php?cat_id=1 It costs $100.00 bucks though.. but for me it is worth it! Love your article, thank you so much for all you do.

I was thinking about heading off to Lake Tahoe sometime, but I have no idea how to take photos in snow covered grounds. My old photos are always grey and looks bad. Thanks for the tips!

I always use it as a reference when it comes to metering. Thanks! Understanding Exposure is a great book. I always use it as a reference when it comes to metering. Thanks!

We got 4 inches -- unusual for middle Alabama. I took over 300 photos but wasn't real happy with they way the snow looked. Thank you for this. I'll be ready next time! I use PSE. I tried correction with the "Remove Color Cast" I'll give your suggestions for correction a try and see if the highlights won't be blown out so much.

A blown out sky is always a problem for me although I haven't tried this technique with snow on the ground. I live in the Sierra foothills near Chico, CA. so finding snow shouldn't be much of a problem. :-) As always, great tips.
