M10, 35mm Summilux v2

Excellent tricky exposure, Ernst!  You've retained detail in the shadows and highlights and the snow is the right colour.  One of the benefits of using an older lower-contrast lens. 🙂  It really annoys me when I see pictures of 'grey snow' where the photog has let the camera's AE underexpose it.

Pete.

Thank you very much! As a Norwegian I know what snow looks like. 😉 I always expose manually, so I don't care what the light meter says. And yes, the lower-contrast lens helps to keep the details.

Your comment makes me think of the novel, Smila's Sense of Snow.
