Morning all,
Off for a euro drive next weekend for 10 days with SWMBO (monaco, Flaine, Zurich, germany, Belguim, Home) Ans am looking for advice for taking pictures of mountainous scenes as never taken photos of them before? So any advice welcomed.

Tanks in advance,
Matt

I'd agree with the + exposure - that much white really confuses a camera. I'd bracket 3 shots 0Ev +1EV and +2EV - I'd also take a circular polarizer.

I'd also get up early before the heat ruins the light.

Have fun.
