It took me a long time to understand compensation until "the light went on". The meters job is to render a neutral (18%) grey. So when it sees snow, it stops the shutter or f-stop down to turn the white neutral (grey dingy snow). You must open up to render white snow.

Which is why I always meter off of the
palm of my hand in the ambient light --
it gives a constant from which to set my
shutter and aperture. Sanders
 
david, that's a beautiful cityscape. and i agree about Portra 160NC. in winter's usual diffused light it's nicely muted and even just suggestive, depending on the exposure.
 
great picture Sanders, both as composition content of the image and as technicals process, exposure etc.
wellseen and well done,
robert
