Given the quality of the photos entered in Saltscapes' online monthly photo contest, it's clear that there are plenty of talented photographers in our community. Here's a tip to make the most of your photo skills during winter months:

Halifax photographer Perry Jackson advises shooters to overexpose by ½ to a full stop when the ground is covered in snow. This slightly wider lens opening will help make the snow appear white, as opposed to grey.

Submit your photos anytime to saltscapes.com; your work could be selected as "photo of the month." Winners in our 2010 annual photo contest will be announced in the March/April issue, due out the first week of March.
