im not an amiture when it comes to photography because im on my 2nd year of photography school. I have a nikon D200 with a 50mm, 55-200mm and a 18-200mm. i use adobe photoshop 4 and 5. I shoot skiing every day and was wondering what tips people could give me to shooting in the snow. any good equipment they use that makes excilent quality photos or just anything they use to make their photos look great.
 
Holy hell I would never even begin to think of helping you with that attitude. You shoot skiing everyday? Then tell us how to shoot skiing Mr. Veteran.

SPELL.

CHECK.
 
Buy pro quality lenses and bodies (most are made of magnesium and are fully gasketed for protection against dust and moisture) other than that just take care of your shit, keep it clean and dry.
 
polarizer filter. why are you using two versions of photoshop..

listening to skiers ideas on where to shoot from. unless it's a park shoot. the skier is going to know a better angle than you
 
make sure your subjects cooperate with you, a skier who knows what the photographer wants and vice versa == succes !
also creative lighting, contrasting subjects and some foreground foliage or rocks make still shots look so sweet imho ...
