OK, where you live snow is uniformly pure white and your camera has caught a true representation of that reality.

Let's agree to stop here.

And the 5DII doesn't have any more DR than some of the other bodies. If you really want the full potential of the DR that the 14bits can give you, you will have to really push your image substantially, and if you do, you will start to see some of the banding issues in the dark section of the histogram.

If you really have a ton of time, try reading this thread, it goes through all of this.

For God sakes...it's snow! And it's supposed to be WHITE! LOL!

But not burnt out! Especially when you are trying to demonstrate the dynamic range of the camera.
