Snow in Kitakata

Today was snowing in Kitakata, this Winter very little snow falled and is unusual, but is normal that is snowing in March. Meantime in Northern Italy, the sun is shining and the temperature mild, is really coming the Spring. Feel great nostalgi for the place, this Winter I was unable to go and I'm very sorry.
Photo taken with 17-35 mm. f 2,8 Nikkor, with snow the exposure is tricky, if you expose an average for the whole scene the snow will be burned out. I work only on manual exposure, I prefer spot metering and I can choose where to measure the light. If is an important subject, is always safer to shoot more then one picture with different exposure and be safe.
