1st attempt at snow pic with grey card

[chopperward]

Hiya

I'm from england so we seldom get any snow! I have been reading up on what is required to take a good snow snap and purchased a grey card to see if i could take a crisp white snow shot. this is my 1st attempt.

the first shot was taken from the reading from the grey card. it is 1/30 f11.

the second reading was from the program mode @ 1/100 f11

what is the feedback on these snaps?

i dont know if i was holding the grey card wrong. I just held it 12 inches away. there didnt appear to be any glare coming from the card. what is the best angle to hold it at?

any feedback welcome
