How do you take black and white photos of the snow using film cameras?

I have a really ancient manual film camera and out teacher told use to Take a roll of film of the snow. I can't remember if you are to take the photos under expose the film of overexpose. I also can't remember which is which.|||under expose one to two stops. If you want to make sure, overexpose another stop again, or 3 stops. Depends on where the sun is.|||As happens depressingly frequently here, fotoace is the only one who knows what he's talking about. Your meter will underexpose a white subject, so to compensate for this you will need to overexpose by either 1 stop if conditions are overcast or by 2 stops if the snow is in full sunlight.|||If you expose the film using what the direct meter reading is, the snow will be 18% gray, so you will have to shoot it at one stop over the indicated exposure.





I am sure if you had referred back to your notes or thought about the way light meters work you would have figured it out yourself.|||Snow is very bright, so you'll need a short exposure and/or small aperture.|||under one or two then go over, you have to be very careful or your snow will be a nasty looking gray color.
