"Why is the sky blue?" A common question that, depending upon one's point of view, can elicit answers ranging from "Because God made it that way" to "Because the blue wavelengths of sunlight are scattered by air molecules in the earth’s atmosphere."
Photographers, however, tend to be more interested in knowing how to capture the beauty of this blue light, rather than in having to explain why it exists.

This lesson takes a look at how sunlight and shadow interact with snow and offers some tips on capturing the ethereal light of winter.
