Re: HB: TB: Garden presence_Camera

Do you have a manual setting on your digital camera.  My son taught me how to use the manual...got into the ISO setting and change the shutter speed.  Mine has an option from 60 to 400 with varying speeds in between.  Moderate sunlight, I use 400 ISO and always turn off the flash.  This has cut the light reflections off the iris when I shoot them in the sun.  It also causes the shutter speed to be fast enough to keep the colors from bleaching out.  If the sun is really bold, I turn it down sometimes as much as 100 and it gives you a little more freedom to readjust the shutter speed from pic to pic.  Don't know if this helps, but I am getting pretty consistant coloration on my shots this year using my digital.  It is an olympus that my Hubby got me for my birthday.  Thought it would be way to much for me, but my "technical wiz" of a son, is getting me through it!  :)  Fell in love with quandary this year!

Griff, I had the same problem when I started using my digital. I found that by focusing on the lightest part of the flower, then re-framing my picture I could correct this problem. Hope this helps.

That's a delicious color, Francelle.  Yes, it would certainly catch the eye in a garden.  As another who is learning to use a new digital, I see in these photos, apparently, what I have seen in a number of my own  --  a light feedback from the surface of the flowers.  I've solved part of the problem by shutting off the automatic flash, but it still occurs in bright sunlight.  Have tried using different settings.  Works sometimes,  but haven't yet found consistent success.  --  Griff
