Taking good pictures in the snow

Every photographer who has tried taking pictures in the snow is aware of the Problem: subjects appear underexposed (darker) than they really are. The reason this is happening has to do with the way cameras evaluate light (via internal reflective sensors). A camera evaluates the frame, determines the amount of bright white snow (highlights) and decides to expose for neutral gray by darkening the shot. Solution: help your camera by setting the exposure to overexpose by 1 stop.
