White is already so bright, so you must keep the aperture very low and at the same time go down to 1/250 shutter and use flash. If you have external flash then you can keep the hood of flash at higher angle and not facing forward (in some good flashes like Nikon SB 910, you can rotate the hood sideways as well as up and down). Buying an external flash also helps in saving the battery from your camera. Pankaj
