Wow, those rocks are quite impressive. I love all how the road goes right through one section.
No suggestions on the camera settings, but I enjoy all the photos.
Love the photos and the rocks. Zander looks, um, well, deep in thought. Was this the day before the girls were leaving and he knew it???
Yes, Beth, I think he realized that the time with the girls was coming to an end.
There's not much you can do with the sky - it's called "blown out highlights" and happens to even the best photographers. You either have to meter your light for the sky (which will give you lovely blues, but have your foreground too dark) or meter for your foreground (making the sky blow out). Most photographers nowadays will shoot the shot twice, metered for both, and then combine them in photoshop.
If you can adjust shutter speed and aperture, make your shutter faster (to let less light in) or use a higher aperture (again, to let less light in).
Ditto what Linda said. The sky thing most likely can't be fixed on any automatic settings. It requires metering from what I've read and learned in the class I took. And, while I know that much, I'm still confused about exactly where to take the meter reading so I'm really not much help (LOL)!
Hmmm...I know the metering for our SLR - guess it WOULD be the same...but this is the little Canon Power Shot and it's always been point and click and not had this washed out thing going on.....so I'm wondering if I clicked some button somewhere. I'll have to play with it.
Love those rock formations. l/p mom t
