Making sure to compensate for the full white composition, I bumped up my exposure so the camera actually indicated the image was overexposed. I shot at f/8 and a speed of 1/800. My ISO was 100.
Once on my computer, I converted the image to a black and white because I wanted to rid the shot of the blues that are often found in snow compositions. However, it is not a true black and white as there are some warm tones present.
This wintry scene originally presented quite grey with a blue cast. Using a preset and then adjusting the colour from there, I eventually found what worked best, but the image was not yet complete. I brought it into Photoshop and applied a texture layer over-top.
In camera, I shot at f/8 with a speed of 1/800 and ISO of 100.
I seem to recall that you shoot at ISO 100 as a rule. That might be challenging for me, as I'm often out at sunset. But, in better light, I might try that.
