It really is amazing the different tools we have at our disposal these days. The quilts you photographed are real treasures. I didn't notice the first time I looked that the friendship quilt had names embroidered into each leaf--talk about a labor of love!Wandahttp://tidbitsandtreasures2011.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33364332268534843.post-68504357061839176382011-10-22T09:54:22.031-05:002011-10-22T09:54:22.031-05:00I'm glad you were able to get a truer color to...I'm glad you were able to get a truer color to what you remember with the quilts. I have some "yellow" pics myself. I've learned to get around that most of the time with the camera....you will too. June to October is not a long time. Keep practicing. I like to remember that "delete" is a wonderful thing. It allows you too make oodles of mistakes. I found the longer I kept shooting and practicing, the less "deletes" there were, but believe me, there still are plenty.Simon https://www.blogger.com/profile/03844538179633976411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33364332268534843.post-5457227671792546722011-10-21T18:58:27.630-05:002011-10-21T18:58:27.630-05:00Very nice post processing!

What film photographers used to do with filters and other tricks, we can now do in software. One note - if you change the white balance setting on your camera for a specific light, don't forget to change it back or you'll end up with problems later. One other suggestion - if you are shooting through glass try to get up as close to the glass as you can with the camera, touching the glass if possible. This will eliminate the reflections in the glass.

I have found that altering the ISO when indoors will often help as well though, and using manual without flash gives me better results than auto with one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12142631013794952968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33364332268534843.post-61932646408088048332011-10-19T12:22:28.052-05:002011-10-19T12:22:28.052-05:00I love that feeling when you've managed to sav...I love that feeling when you've managed to save a photo! I've been delving in to post processing too - amazing what you can acheive. I've also taken note of Brenda's comment above and will be experimenting a bit more with what my camera can do - I'm sure I've only really scratched the surface so far. So much to discover!

As you have found, editing can come to your rescue when the lighting situation can't be controlled.<br /><br />One thing you might want to investigate on your camera is the ability to set your white balance - most cameras have presets for the most common lighting conditions - like tungsten and fluorescent. By telling the camera the conditions under which you are shooting,it can often remove the color casts so you have a better chance of getting a successful image SOCC.Brendahttp://gottgraphicsdesign.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33364332268534843.post-83496112917023395352011-10-19T11:04:16.548-05:002011-10-19T11:04:16.548-05:00I love Picasa.
