I am the opposite of a winter person. Give me summer heat any day over the cold dreary days of winter. But I can't deny the beauty of a good snow. Those first few hours while everything looks perfect and white are incredible. Of course reality of its mess sets in when you're slushing through the parking lot of target and can't fathom where all the mud and dirt came from. Snow can be a little difficult to shoot in but I always love a good challenge when shooting. It's a little like shooting the exit of a bride and groom while people are throwing bird seed or rice. The camera tends to grab the little pieces in front and you lose the focus on the face. You also have to be careful of overexposure with all of the white. That's more of an issue on a sunny day but not too big of a problem with overcast skies. The biggest challenge for me was to put an 8 year old in the snow and tell him not to roll around in it. Of course we had to end with a few snow balls!
