Winter Photography Tips
Oh, isn't winter beautiful - waking up to the early morning snow as you see your entire family crafting a snowman or probably trying out those brand new skis and taking them for a spin at the nearby hill?

Snapping photos at the wrong time of the day may also lead to subpar results. Shoot in the midday or around that time if you want a cooler shot, while shoot in the late afternoon or early morning if you want a warmer picture, or pictures.
