You're going to hate me for this, Bill....

but the truth is...

a) Tripod.
b) 21/f4 SA wide open.
c) zone focus (infinity selected)
d) Automatic exposure, 'A' - aperture Priority. 1/3 second.
e) AWB
f) use self-timer w/mirror pre-release.

ISO = 400 w/2 stops under exposure =  ISO 1600

To be honest, the lights are some sort of high energy do-dads 
borrowed from the local copper mine.  Very unusual light balance... 
made everything go green.  Took me about 2 minutes of fiddling to get 
the snow, near the right, to look white. I took the rest for what it 
was, and figured it was OK.

And, thanks. I like the shot, too!

Cheers
