The Nuances of Snow


What colour is snow... or is a combination of all colours, which many say is the true definition of white? When it is photographed like these taken in the early morning as the sun makes an appearance, so many colours show themselves. Does the camera actually break down this combination? Snow creates its own art and to an artist trying to duplicate the effect, it is a daunting task.
My camera has a "snow" setting so when the photo is taken, the camera is supposed to take away the overexposure related to reflections from such a bright surface. More experience with the camera will prove that premise. In the meantime, the sight of snow clinging to the railing on the deck is truly a magical sight. Can any artist truly duplicate that? It is highly unlikely.
